Denver, CO, August 5, 2026 —

DENVER, CO – The Colorado Association of Latino Administrators and Supervisors (CO-ALAS) has announced a new partnership with Teachers of Tomorrow to introduce an alternative teacher certification program within the state. This collaboration is designed to create a new avenue for individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree to become certified teachers in Colorado.

The initiative is a direct response to the ongoing teacher shortage affecting Colorado.

A key objective of this partnership is to enhance the representation of Hispanic educators within Colorado’s school systems.

Teachers of Tomorrow is a national organization that provides alternative routes to teacher certification. CO-ALAS, an organization dedicated to supporting and advancing Latino administrators and supervisors in education, will work with Teachers of Tomorrow to implement the program in Colorado. The program aims to streamline the process for college graduates to transition into teaching careers, addressing critical staffing needs in schools across the state.

Further details regarding the specific requirements, timelines, and enrollment procedures for the new alternative teacher certification program are expected to be announced. The partnership signifies a collaborative effort to tackle the challenges of teacher recruitment and retention while fostering greater diversity in the educator workforce.
