Jobs for Educators

In Oregon, teachers can be hired within a variety of settings. TSPC oversees the licensing of teachers employed in K-12 school districts, education service districts (ESD's) and charter schools. There are more than 1,200 public K-12 schools organized into 197 school districts in the State of Oregon. ESD's are typically county-focused regional education units that work to provide the various counties' school districts with a wide array of educational programs and services, many of which are too costly or limited in demand for a single location.
