OR does not require you to have a MA yet, but if you want to get
hired than you will need one. Most universities in Oregon have
a one year program that you can complete without having to re-do
your cert. or student teaching. Although, you will need to have
an oregon license before you can get hired. Also job availabily
depends on the area. If you want to get hired in Portland, you
have a good chance if you are highly qualified because the
district is a big mess and falling apart. If you want to get a
job in Lake Oswego or Beaverton, the two top districts in the
Portland/Metro area, good luck. My mother has been teaching in
Beaverton for almost thirty years and the problem is that the
teachers are not retiring because of poor benifits. Look else
where in the state or if you want to live in Portland, try
Vancouver WA. Good Luck!
