Meeting State Requirements for Oregon Teachers
What’s Your Goal?
Renew My Oregon Teaching License
We have helped many teachers from Oregon renew their licenses, increase their salaries and advance their careers.
Renew Your License
The Professional Teaching License is a 5-year license issued to experienced teachers who have successfully demonstrated an advanced level of educator knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Renewal requires completion of 125 continuing professional development units (PDUs).
Credit Conversion
1 Teaching Channel with Learners Edge graduate level, continuing education credit = 1 semester hour = 30 PDUs
Each Teaching Channel with Learners Edge 3-credit course requires approximately 45 hours for course completion.
Legacy Teaching License Â
The Legacy Teaching License is a 3-year license issued to veteran teachers to recognize their long-term employment and experience in the public schools without obliging them to meet the new advanced competency requirements of the Professional Teaching License. Renewal requires completion of 75 continuing professional development units (PDUs).
Graduate level, continuing education courses from Teaching Channel with Learners Edge can be used to meet renewal requirements and help advance your salary. Consider these examples or craft your own plan.Â

5203: Social and Emotional Learning Starts with You (3 credits-90 PDUs)

Why You Should Enroll in Courses as a Long-Term Investment
In many districts, teachers gain a salary increase when they accrue graduate-level credits. But have you considered the money you leave on the table when you delay accruing those credits?
Teachers who gain an extra $8K in salary 20 years before retirement bring home an extra $160K in earnings. And those teachers may also receive a higher pension by finishing their careers at an advance salary level. Compare that to the educator who achieves that goal 10 years later: $80K less income. See what credit accrual could mean for you by using our salary calculator. Be sure to check our course bundles that let you accrue credits at less cost and on a pay-as-you-learn plan.
