Teacher Licensure

The Course-to-Endorsement Catalogue is a collaborative project between ODE, TSPC and Districts which identifies by endorsements the courses that the teacher is authorized to teach. Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires the teacher be properly licensed/endorsed for each course he/she teaches.

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 was updated on 9/1/17 to include a middle school level endorsement.

Please read the Using the Course-to-Endorsement Catalogue instruction document to understand how the Catalogue works.

 

 

You may also use the 2018-19 Course to Endorsement Lookup Tool. This new tool was published on 8/22/18.

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.

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.
