Teachers in Colorado are facing tough times. Colorado teacher salaries are 7% below the national average. The ratio of teacher salary to private sector is lower than in any other state. We have large obstacles before us on our way to making public education a thing to be respected in Colorado. What we need now are intelligent people stepping up and securing the powerful positions from those who have let us down in the past. We need brilliant people suggesting new and novel solutions to our dwindling educational resources. These are big and oppressive tasks, but there are small steps we can take to cut down on the size and burden of such a mission.

Future Colorado Teachers: For those just stepping into the world of education, progress is something distant and unknown.

However, it will not be long before this worry is something of the past. What needs to be addressed and understood if the new teacher is going to work towards making a real difference in their students' lives and the educational system is to understand contemporary teaching theories, tried and true assessment strategies, comprehensive tools that turn student data into plans for future goals of student education. These are complex concepts, yet imperative if one wants to be a teacher worth reckoning. Gain the skills with an advanced education from an accredited university.
