Added Special Educator Endorsement (AddSPED)
The AddSPED endorsement program is designed especially for Oregon teachers with general education licenses at the elementary and/or middle/secondary grade levels that want to add a special education endorsement to their current non-provisional license. AddSPED is a six-term program that is designed with working teachers in mind by offering a hybrid of on-campus and online coursework.
