Want to teach in another state?

To help support the decision to move to another state, the GSE has collected information about K-12 teaching opportunities across the country. If a particular state does not centralize job announcements, you will see a list of the school districts within the state. It is important to get in touch with the licensing agency - the 'Oregon TSPC' of that state. You will need to get licensed in the other state, and this agency can help you determine what you need to do to get the appropriate license. It could vary from state to state, so be sure to research the state requirements.
