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.

be selective when figuring out where you can get the mo...See More

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

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

students every year, but the suburbs like Beaverton are
