Licensed Educator Positions

Jeffco teachers create a warm environment that provides opportunities for all students to grow intellectually, emotionally and psychologically to reach and exceed their potential. 

Using research-evidenced practices and instructional strategies licensed educators foster intellectual curiosity and a love of learning among their students. 

Teacher and students in class

They develop the whole child and equip students for the 21st-century world with critical thinking and reasoning skills that prepare them to be successful in college, career and life. Whether elementary or secondary, our teachers build bright futures.

Licensed Educator Positions: Teachers

Elementary teachers must hold a valid Colorado teaching license and pass the Praxis test or an approved out-of-state content exam. Secondary teachers (seventh through twelfth grades) must hold a valid Colorado teaching license with the appropriate in-field endorsement for the content they will be teaching.

Licensed Educator Positions: Special Service Providers

It takes a team of providers to prepare all of our students for bright futures. Jeffco values the service of counselors, social workers, school psychologists and speech-language pathologists. Our Special Service Providers (SSP) are crucial to our students' success.
