Welcome to the 2009 Rocky Mountain Teacher Fair Website

What an amazing quality of life you can experience working for one of our exceptional school districts. A progressive educational environment, 21st century classrooms, and first class opportunities for professional growth are just a fraction of what you’ll experience working for one of the many districts who will be in attendance.

What an amazing quality of life! Living in the Rocky Mountains you will certainly experience the amazing skiing and snowboarding opportunities that make the Colorado Rocky Mountains legendary. But you’ll also experience mountain biking through alpine flower meadows, fly fishing, rafting, hiking, backpacking, camping, and so many more fun things to do on literally thousands of miles of pristine public land.

Its not just the outdoors that makes our mountain communities so special. Because we are in a resort area we have unparalleled cultural opportunities to go hand in hand with our small town lifestyle. You’ll enjoy world class musicians, artists, dining experiences, and first class amenities you wont find in many other places in the world.

Local experts will be on hand to discuss issues like Colorado certification, relocation, housing, living in the Rockies, and any other questions you may have.
