Teacher Recruitment & Retention
CREC Website Job Board
REMINDER: We advertise job openings on the CREC website and once a month, a job openings newsletter goes out to more than 100 agencies and higher education institutions, giving your postings a wider audience! In addition to the job board, teachers can submit resumes for superintendents and administrators to review. This is a great opportunity for our members to bring future educators into the amazing rural communities of Colorado!

Teacher Recruitment & Retention + STEM - Did you say scholarships?
Recent grants were awarded to provide an on-going professional learning community for rural math teachers as well as scholarships for teachers to receive a Master of Science in Teaching and Learning with a Specialization in Math or 18 graduate credits for a dual enrollment certificate from Colorado State University - Global Campus. Priority will be given to teachers in the San Luis Valley and Northeast BOCES districts, but stay tuned as any remaining available slots will be offered CREC wide.
Student-Centered Accountability Program (S-CAP)
We are currently looking for ten new districts to join S-CAP which is at the forefront of peer-driven innovation in the accountability space. If you are interested in learning more about S-CAP or becoming a member, please visit the S-CAP website and plan on attending one of our School Site Reviews (SSR) this coming year. Look for the SSR dates on the S-CAP website and consider attending and bringing teachers with you. Teachers have said that attending an SSR is some of the most valuable PD they have ever experienced.
Did you know that S-CAP is part of the national conversation around student-centered accountability as a grantee of the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation around deeper learning?
The S-CAP program has a new website to showcase their work! Check out the new revamped site by clicking

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The CREC is looking for Districts who would be interested in joining the SEL Genesis Work Group.
There are currently more than a dozen Districts working together to implement SEL in their schools and the data around impact is strong. These districts are in the process of implementing a SEL structure, receiving planning and data support, professional development for staff and coaching for administration in the area of SEL along with free access to curriculum.
The CREC is in the process of obtaining more funds for Districts to implement this type of work. If you are a district interested in participating in this work, please contact
Kirk Banghart for more information.
College and Career Readiness
Watch for an RFP coming out soon to join districts in your BOCES in undertaking a shared Portrait of a Graduate process. Portrait of a Graduate engages a broad array of stakeholders with their local district to create a collective vision that articulates the community's aspirations for all students which can then form the basis for college/career pathways and local economic development strategies.
New Rural Podcast: Redefining Rural
The show airs at 4:00pm Tuesday on Denver's Money Talk 1690 AM once during the middle of month as well as on YouTube at cobrt.com/live
