Promising Practice - Educators Matter - Archuleta and Dolores School Districts from Colorado Department of Education on Vimeo.

As Colorado experiences a teacher shortage, some school districts are finding innovative ways to attract and retain teachers. Archuleta School District in Pagosa Springs is giving teachers room to grow professionally and encouraging them to develop their passions outside the school room. Dolores School District in southwestern Colorado opened an infant/toddler center that gave teachers with young children first preference.
