Welcome New DPS Teachers
On behalf of the members of the Denver Classroom Teachers Association, we would like to welcome all the new teachers to the Denver Public Schools. As you enter your classroom and begin to prepare for the children of Denver and the year ahead, we want you to know that we are here for you. We understand the array of emotions that confront every new teacher to a distict, be they veteran or brand new: excitement, anticpation, and even a little fear. The DCTA is here to support you during your first year in DPS, and all the years to come. Please visit our Teaching and Learning Page that is loaded with tips and hints to help you get going with a bang. We also encourage you to join our Association of over 2,800 educators who know that every student deserves a great public education.
