Oregon Teachers Standards and Practices Commission

Oregon Teachers Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC), established in the U.S. state of Oregon in 1965, is the nation's oldest educator standards board. It is Oregon's licensing agency for all educators. The agency approves teacher preparation programs offered by Oregon colleges and universities; licenses teachers, administrators and other personnel employed in Oregon schools; and takes disciplinary actions when educators commit crimes or violate competent and ethical performance standards.
