International Teacher Education Program

The Curriculum and Instruction Department, Graduate School of Education, offers initial teaching license programs in several endorsement areas, approved by the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practice Commission. It also provides pathways toward Oregon Initial Licensure for candidates who received their bachelor's degree and eligibility documentation to teach in K-12 settings from foreign countries. Qualified candidates can, through these pathways, go through a highly individualized program to meet the Oregon Initial Teaching License requirements and be recommended for an initial license at appropriate levels with appropriate endorsements.

In collaboration with faculty, the Field Placement Office, and the Educational Licensing Office, the International Teacher Education Program Coordinator provides one-on-one advising, designs an individualized program of study based on the match between the candidate's preparation and our TSPC approved program requirements, and supervises field based clinical practicum.
