TEP Portfolio
Students making application to the TEP must submit an electronic application/portfolio through Tk20 to the TEP coordinator by the dates posted on the ESU Web page. The electronic application/portfolio is to include the following:
- A resume.
- A statement of the student's philosophy of education, including the relationship of education to society (maximum of three typed pages, double-spaced).
- A half-page, double-spaced, typed description of relevant experiences the student has had in working with children or youth. Supporting material may be attached.
In addition, qualifying test scores must be on file in the MSU Testing Center and qualifying grades/GPA must be indicated on MSU's student information system (Datatel).
TEP Application for Transfer Students Admitted at Another Kentucky Institution
Transfer students who were admitted to a TEP at another Kentucky institution may submit evidence of their admission and the above portfolio materials to the TEP coordinator immediately upon admission to MSU. These students will be exempt from the interview requirement for admission to the MSU TEP. Transfer students must meet all other criteria for admission as listed below.
All students are required to purchase Tk20, an electronic portfolio and assessment system, beginning with EDF 207. Transfer students should purchase Tk20 at the time of transfer to MSU if EDF 207 has already been completed.
