Colorado Substitute Teacher
Substitute teaching in Colorado is the choice of many individuals who are interested in finding out whether the teaching profession is for them or not. It is a great way to be introduced into the profession and to begin working with other educators who will refine your teaching skills and offer insight into becoming a great teacher or administrator or as far as you wish to take your career in education.
On the other hand, many substitute teachers are retired full-time teachers who wish to stay in the field of education, but at a part-time level. This is a fantastic option for ex-teachers to continue to give back to their community and continue to generate some extra revenue.
For those considering becoming full-time Colorado teachers, it is important to understand the substitute salary is much lower than a certified, full-time teacher. Click on the following link if you wish to find out how to become a teacher in Colorado.

"I decided to go to graduate school and earn my Master of Arts in Education because I am inspired by new knowledge. I feel in order to perform my job to the best of my ability, I need to keep up with current practices and trends in the field of education."
- Sara Marvez
-- 6th grade science teacher
"Gaining my Masters degree has earned me respect from Administrators and colleagues. Also, my salary has benefitted greatly. The cost of graduate school was paid off in only a couple years."
- Thomas Bjornson
-- high school english teacher
"Postgraduate study was a personal goal of mine and completing my Masters degree has given me a great sense of personal satisfaction, it has also increased my efficiency in the classroom and my marketability in the job market."
- Janet O'Reilly
-- 8th grade social studies teacher
"I found my online courses efficient and friendly. I had a desire to go to graduate school, but I didn't want to go through the nonsense of another undergraduate degree, bumping shoulders with students a third my age who have very little understanding of real life or the benefits of real knowledge. A friend recommended online education and I haven't looked back since.
At the age of 53, I love my job more than ever. I get so much satisfaction knowing that many of my students respect me for what I do as a teacher.
I am able to face any sort of situation that arises in my classroom with complete confidence."
- Jonathan Lloyd
-- high school chemistry teacher
