Teacher shortages in Colorado are statewide challenges that uniquely affect all areas of the state and; therefore, all residents to some degree. As a result, the challenge requires collective efforts and collaborative solutions. Accordingly, this strategic plan framework represents the outgrowth of the statewide collaborative strategic planning process implemented to address this growing concern. The strategic goals, objectives, and strategies were generated from stakeholders' input and perspectives shared: (1) at town hall meetings; (2) through online survey instrument results; and (3) via free-form email communications. Data was collected through thirteen town-hall meetings held throughout the state and via a targeted on-line survey. This plan is derived from what was heard in these town halls and informed by promising and best practices. The use of this mixed design approach proved to be beneficial as nearly 400 individuals participated in in-depth conversations regarding educator shortages, and more than 6,500 survey responses were collected from Coloradans. Using these data points, a series of ideas and options were developed to address the ongoing shortage of educators throughout Colorado.
