My state was using four traits for writing assessment and changed the format for next year. Everyone thought they would go to six traits like most other states, but they didn't. The reason, we are told, is that the testing companies say that there are all kinds of problems arising in Oregon with six trait assessment and the state writing tests. Is this true? What are the problems? Or are we just letting the testing companies tell us how to make their jobs easier?

Currently a subsitute teacher in California with a California credential in English, I am interested in substitute teaching in the Portland area. Even though I have the application forms for Oregon licensing, I am unsure of the actual ropes. I need to know if with my credential I will easily be able to qualify and work as a substitute in Portland. In other words, is it easy or difficult to become a sub for Portland schools? Thank you very much for any advice. The more details, the better. In turn, I will be happy to reciprocate with information about living and working in California--if anyone dares to join the teeming masses down here.
John, I am in a similar situation as you are. I have a California Preliminary credential (Multi Suject), and is planning to move to Portland. I researched the internet about getting license in Oregon, but the info is very confusing. Maybe you can help me. I want to know if I can easily get a Transitinal license which is good for 3 years. After 3 years, if I want to pursue a continuing license, I was told that I need to get a Masters Degree :-( Do you know anything about this? Your response would be very helpful. I also am curious what you are doing now. Are you teaching in Portland, and if yes, how is the job market? -Shelley
You do need a masters, but you can get a transitional license if you have taught before out of state and have an out of state license. You then have 3 years or so to get your Masters and complete the tests. Portland schools have been decreasing in students every year, but the suburbs like Beaverton are booming. Email me if you have more questions. Melissa. On 9/01/04, Question wrote: > John, > I am in a similar situation as you are.

What is the starting salary for fully credentialed teachers in Oregon? My husband might be transferred to Eugene so I am just inquiring. Also, is there a lot of additional training required in Oregon? As I said, I am credentialed. Thanks so much for your help.
I've teaching English in Japan for 20 years as a public high school teacher. My husband is from Portland, Oregon and we are planning to go back there. I still want to keep teaching which I like. I can teach English as a second language and Japanese. Where do you advice I can go for further information?

Hello, I wish I could help you in your search, but maybe you can help me in mine: we are researching our family name and Haimoff and Hymoff are probably the same. If yuo or yourhusband could contact me, I can share what we have found so far and maybe we are related.
Good luck and maybe a local language school like Berlitz or Benedict has a spot available in Portland?
I joined a postcard exchange and we are still short a few states. If you are interested, here is the explanation from the project leader and a URL to her site for more information.
Here's a public invitation for application to the IndiVisual/Hewlett-Packard 'Read for Life' scholarship. I feel this is important to share with the public and hopeful you will help the spread the word with teachers and schools administrators about this great scholarship opportunity to help struggling readers.
The 'Read for Life' scholarship consists of a wireless mobile reading lab complete with 5 Hewlett-Packard laptop PCs complete and 3 years unlimited student-use of IndiVisual Reading ($25,000 value). Another plus with this scholarship is the fact that Dr. John Manning, a former president of the International Reading Association, is the author/advisor behind the IndiVisual Reading program. The scholarship is available to any public, private, parochial or charter school within the United States.
