Hello everybody,

I wanted to get more information from real Colorado residents.
My fiance and I are looking to move to Colorado after we are both done with our graduate degrees (in about 1 year)

I am currently getting a Master's in Environmental Science and I have an undergraduate degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. Both from the Texas A&M system.
I will like to find a teaching job in the Denver, Boulder, Colorado Spring, or Rocky Mountain area. How is the job market for science teacher in those areas?
I was born and raised in Mexico so I speak fluent English and Spanish which I think its a big plus.

My fiance has a degree in Veterinary Technology and is currently getting a Master's degree in Elementary Education.

We both have a lot of science experience (we have worked as research scientist out in the field, non-profit science organizations, and currently, I working at a research institute).

As far as teaching experience, I will have about 2 years of experience but as a teaching assistant, not a full-time teacher.

We are looking to start our married life together working hard doing what we love (teach) but we want to make sure we are at the right place.

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Science teachers are always in demand. I wouldn't anticipate that it would be too hard to get districts to interview you. I guess it all depends on what you like in a place to live. I would recommend that you come up here to visit to see what areas you want to live in, and then find a school district close by to submit your applications.

I wouldn't think you would have any problem, but as davidv suggests, come for a visit to get an idea of commutes, cost of living etc. Also, do some searches in the Jobs section of denvercraigslist - lots of employers post there.
