Overview

Students wishing to explore or prepare for the teaching profession should become involved in the teacher education program as early as possible in their college careers.  It is advised that initial steps be taken as an entering freshman or as soon as possible after entering Taylor.  Upon declaring a major area of study (elementary or secondary), the student is assigned an academic advisor.  This academic advisor continues to advise the student throughout the entire program.  However, by use of the curriculum guide for the chosen area of study, much of the student's planning may be self-directed.  Curriculum guides containing course requirements for all teacher education programs offered at Taylor may be obtained from the department of education.  The Teacher Education Program Student Handbook includes a 4-year program timeline and course sequence for general education, major and professional education courses that assist the students in planning their teacher education programs.
