About The Position

DSST Public Schools is recruiting teachers for middle and high school positions across multiple campuses in Denver and Aurora, Colorado, for the 2027–2028 school year. This is an in-person, full-time, school-year, benefits-eligible, exempt position, with new staff training beginning in late July 2027. This general application is intended for candidates interested in a subject area that does not have a dedicated posting. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis as current and anticipated positions become available; submission does not guarantee an interview.

Teachers prepare and deliver standards-aligned instruction using appropriate curriculum resources, support students with varied learning needs, assess student progress, and foster inclusive classrooms with high expectations. They collaborate with colleagues, participate in coaching and professional development, build relationships with families, and may contribute to schoolwide activities such as advisory, tutoring, or student recruitment.

Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in any field and be able to demonstrate applicable in-field content qualifications for their preferred teaching position by their start date. A commitment to educational equity, inclusive instruction, and ongoing professional growth is required. Teaching experience, experience supporting diverse learners, strong communication and classroom-management skills, and a Colorado teaching credential are preferred; the credential is not required for many opportunities.

The salary range is $60,000–$82,000, based on up to 10 years of aligned experience. A relocation stipend is offered to candidates moving from 75 miles or more outside Denver. DSST describes its rewards and benefits as including comprehensive health coverage, fertility and adoption support, educator-focused mental-health care, six weeks of paid parental leave, more than 11 weeks off each year, and various coaching, development, recognition, wellness, and discount programs.
