A growing number of international teachers are filling vacancies in some Colorado school districts facing a dearth of homegrown applicants, especially in areas like math, science, special education, and bilingual education. District leaders say international educators help plug holes in the teacher pipeline and expand students’ cultural horizons.
The Harrison school district in Colorado Springs is one of several districts in the state that hires international teachers to help address staff shortages.
