Teacher Education

In accordance with the rules established by the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC), the Bushnell University Department of Teacher Education offers comprehensive programs leading to a PK-12 Preliminary Teaching License. We have provided a state-by-state grid that will aid in determining if Bushnell’s program meets, does not meet, or is not yet determined to meet the state licensure requirements for other states. 

Oregon is a member of the Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) facilitates license reciprocity for member states that have signed the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement. The NASDTEC Interstate Agreement is a collection of individual agreements by member states pledging to “issue some form of authorization allowing an inbound certificate holder to legally teach or provide service in the receiving state, provided the license issued by the ‘sending’ state is acceptable under the agreement.” NASDTEC does not guarantee “full teacher license reciprocity” for member states but does help clarify which licenses will transfer and what additional requirements must be met. Forty-. seven states and the District of Columbia have signed the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement.  For more information, click here: Teacher License Reciprocity – Education Commission of the States (ecs.org)
