Licenses
As a Guest Teacher you must hold or have applied for a license through TSPC. Below are some common licensure types needed for Guest Teaching. To access the full description of TSPC licenses and requirements click here. If you hold Restricted Substitute License or Emergency Substitute License you cannot substitute for more than 10 consecutive days for one assignment. For example, if a teacher is taking a long term leave of absence, or there is job posting for over 10 days, you will not be able to fill that absence. You could however accept of portion of those days, just as long as it does not exceed 10 consecutive days.
Emergency Substitute License: The Emergency Teaching License is issued to individuals who have demonstrated adequate qualifications to receive a teaching license on an emergency basis, but who have not completed all requirements for a regular teaching license. The Emergency Teaching License is designed for short-term licensure only and may not continue once the emergency situation has been remedied.
Restricted Substitute License: The Restricted Substitute Teaching License is issued to qualified individuals who hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, but have not completed a teacher preparation program. It requires district sponsorship. The Restricted Substitute Teaching License permits a qualified individual to substitute teach in a prekindergarten through grade 12 Oregon public school district, education service districts, and charter school assignments.
Substitute: The Substitute Teaching License is issued to educators who have completed a teacher preparation program but do not hold a regular Oregon teaching license. The Substitute Teaching License permits an educator to substitute teach in prekindergarten through grade 12 Oregon public school districts, education service districts, and charter school assignments to replace a teacher who is temporarily unable to work.
Restricted Teaching License: The Restricted Teaching License is issued to qualified individuals who have a minimum of at least a bachelor’s degree and who have substantial preparation in the subject matter in their teaching area, but have not completed a teacher preparation program. The recipient of the license is required to qualify for the Preliminary Teaching License within three years of the issuance of the Restricted Teaching License.
Reciprocal Teaching License: The Reciprocal Teaching License is issued to teachers who have completed an educator preparation program and hold an active and valid non-provisional teaching license from another state. The purpose of the Reciprocal Teaching License is to allow an out-of-state licensed teacher to transition into the Oregon licensure system based on the credentials they earned in the other jurisdiction while they work on any missing Oregon requirements.
