Or. Admin. Code § 584-210-0010 - Purpose of Oregon Teaching Licenses
(1) These rules establish a licensure
structure that defines the requirements to teach in Oregon public schools
pursuant to ORS 342.120 to
342.232.
(2) The grade levels of licensure align with
developmental levels of students and provide assignment flexibility for the
21st Century Classroom. Allowing assignment across all grades in a
pre-kindergarten through grade 12 teaching environment based on subject-matter
expertise provides the best opportunity for implementation of personalized
teaching and proficiency-based education models for Oregon students.
(3) The Commission's teaching licensure
standards affirm the dignity and worth of all students and strive to ensure
students from diverse economic, ability, cultural and ethnic backgrounds are
provided all opportunities to achieve subject-matter proficiency for optimal
college and career readiness.
(4)
Oregon's licensure structure embraces and recognizes the value and worth of the
professional educator. Professional teachers will direct their long-term career
goals and choose the appropriate route to professional licensure.
(5) Oregon's licensure structure supports the
growth and achievement of every Oregon 0-20 public school student. Honoring and
celebrating the dignity and worth of our multicultural student population is a
key centerpiece to Oregon's education enterprise and professional preparation.
(6) The preliminary and
professional teaching licensure standards are based on the 2011 Interstate
Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium Model Core Teaching standards.
(7) The Teacher Leader License is
designed to recognize measured milestones in an accomplished professional
educator's career, including but not limited to: National Board Certification,
Teacher Leader development, Beginning Teacher Mentoring, advanced educational
coursework and demonstration of advanced teaching proficiencies.
(8) Oregon's licensure regulations embrace
the concept of interstate reciprocity and recognizes the value of previous
competency, as reflected through another state's teaching preparation standards
and non-provisional teaching licenses.
(9) Professional development is integral to
the professional educator's career development. Professional development is
required at all stages of professional licensure renewal.
