40% of Colorado teachers say they re thinking about quitting

Older teachers were found to be more likely consider leaving after this year, as 53% of teachers ages 60-69 years old said they were considering leaving, and 45% of teachers ages 50-59 years said they re considering a career change as well, according to the report.
