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. The Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) governing CTE teacher licensure have been revised and adopted by the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) in 2010. Chapter 584 of the OARs includes those rules specific to Teacher Standards & Practices (TSPC). Division 42 is the section of OARs under TSPC regulation that outlines CTE Licenses and Endorsements.

  This document was submitted to TSPC in November, 2009 and is for use by the Instructor Appraisal Committees (see CTE I Licensure Process/Application above) in completing their recommendations. A final list has not yet been approved and incorporated into the TSPC License Guide.
  
  Once the appropriate Oregon Administrative Rules have been adopted by the Commission, the License Guide will reflect an approved list. (http://tspc.oregon.gov/licensure/licensure.asp)
