Exciting news for education in Colorado!

CO-ALAS is proud to partner with Teachers of Tomorrow to create a new pathway into the teaching profession and help address Colorado’s ongoing teacher shortage.

This program provides individuals who already hold a bachelor’s degree with an accessible pathway to teacher certification while working in the classroom and earning a full teacher’s salary. It’s another important step toward strengthening and diversifying Colorado’s educator workforce.

Thank you to Denver7 for highlighting this important work and to CO-ALAS Director of Programs Dr. Diana Roybal for sharing our commitment to developing educators who reflect and serve Colorado’s communities.
