Student Organizations Teachers of Tomorrow As early as freshman year, students pursuing licensure in teacher education may wish to join the Teachers of Tomorrow. Teachers of Tomorrow (TOT) was started by High Point University students and is fully chartered by the Student Government Association. The organization is home to those interested in education as well as majors from all areas. TOT allows future educators an opportunity to fellowship at meetings about classes and fieldwork, as well as an opportunity to gain insight about the future career in teaching. TOT has worked in the past with tutoring at local schools, helped with Halloween and Easter carnivals for elementary students, and produced treats for teachers and students at nearby schools. During each meeting once a month, new business about upcoming service is discussed and members complete an activity related to education. TOT also brings guest speakers to talk to students about the fascinating career of Education. Teachers of Tomorrow is a fun way to meet other Education majors and share experiences.
