Course to Endorsement Catalogue
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires teachers be properly licensed/endorsed for each course they teach. The Course to Endorsement Catalogue is a collaborative project between ODE and TSPC which identifies, by endorsement, the courses that teachers are authorized to teach.
The Catalogue includes descriptions of each course. Districts are encouraged to read the descriptions for the course codes to select the course code that best fits the content being taught. The Catalogue is updated each year with minor changes to ensure consistency with NCES course codes.
Please read the
Using the Course to Endorsement Catalogue to understand how the Catalogue works or watch this 5 minute tutorial on how to use the catalogue.
Course to Endorsement Lookup Tool
The Course to Endorsement Look-Up Tool contains the same information as the Catalogue, just in a dropdown menu format.
The tool contains both a look-up table to search course codes that can be taught by specific endorsement, and a look-up table to search endorsements authorized to teach a specific course code.
Licensing
In Oregon, the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission is the licensing agency for all educators.
Please visit the
Teacher Standards and Practices Commission website for more information.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Licensing
To teach in an Oregon state approved
CTE program, the instructor must have an appropriate
CTE license and/or endorsement, specific to the program career area.
