Teacher Shortage in Colorado
Colorado is facing an extreme teacher shortage leading to a lack of consistency in instruction, negatively affecting students' learning progress According to research from the Colorado Department of Education, “Of the 6,911 teaching positions to hire, 635 (9%) remained unfilled for the school year and 1,756 (25%) were filled through a shortage mechanism. The number of unfilled teaching positions decreased from the previous school year, while the number of teaching positions filled by a shortage mechanism increased from 1,486 to 1,756, an 18% increase.” Shortage mechanisms include hiring long-term substitutes and uncertified instructors to fill vacancies. When underqualified instructors teach classes, students are not receiving the education they deserve.
Teacher Shortage reports claim, "Based on news and state reports, we estimate that there are at least 55,000 vacant teacher positions in the United States."
