Chances are VERY slim around the Fort Collins area since UNC
and CSU are SO close; those colleges are pumping out new
teachers each semester. Plus, the Poudre District (in Fort
Collins) gets hundreds of applicants for each job.

Unless there are open jobs (which I doubt)you need to start
subbing ASAP and start talking to administrators and teachers
within the schools. That will be the best way to put a face
to the name and get your resume on the "top" of the pile.

Math positions and special ed. seem to be the only positions
that occasionally pop up, so at least you have that (math) in
your favor. Fill out (have on file)an application for every
district in the area...Loveland, Greeley, St. Vrain, Windsor,
Eaton, Ault, Johnstown/Milliken...My advice (from personal
experience) is to stay away from the charter schools since
the work load is overwhelming, pay is extremely low,
resources are practically nonexistent, and there are very
little professional growth opportunities.
