Teacher Preparation Opportunities
Denver Public Schools has partnered with several traditional and non-traditional teacher preparation programs to offer a wide variety of teacher pathways to help you find the best fit to become a successful teacher.
No matter which route you take, you can choose from several programs at local institutions that will prepare you to become a teacher.
What to Look For in a Teacher Preparation Program:

- Multicultural composition of the population served.
- Centrality of standards-based education.
- Role of schools in society.
- Importance of existing knowledge about teaching and learning.
