Welcome to the exciting and challenging world of teaching! Few occupations equal teaching in terms of the opportunities it provides to work directly with the people and issues most important to society. Teaching is a calling with the potential of influencing hundreds of lives far into the future.

The Portland State University Graduate School of Education and Continuing Education offers a teacher preparation program that enables committed, academically able candidates to become involved in schools and to complete the essential education required to become licensed outstanding practitioners. Our program and the support we provide through continuing licensure establish ongoing development toward becoming a good teacher.
