I am looking to relocate to Colorado, from California, and
I am trying to get a feel for the teaching environment, as
well as the market. From the little web research that I
have done, it doesn't look promising
Can anyone please help me with a dose of what the reality
is like for teachers in Colorado? For instance, how do
you pay your health insurance costs? From the district
information that I have looked at, your insurance costs
are quite high, to say the least. How many districts are
using perfomance-based, or merit pay? Coming from CA,
where that idea was recently shot down by voters, it
appears that several districts are using it. How do you
like it? Does it destroy the collaborative environment
among teaching colleagues? I thank you all for your time,
and for any tips or suggestions. Thank you.

I don't know of any class size limits. Since I am in a smaller
school (approx. 400) my classes range from 12-28 or so. I also
teach secondary. Again, I'm not sure what it is like in the metro
areas.
You are definitely right in assuming there is little union power.
