- Abstract
The article focuses on the curriculum requirements for high school biological science teachers. This paper proposed to consider only one aspect of the preparation of high school biology teachers, the curriculum. The Southeastern Conference on Biology Teaching recommends that the curriculum should include a minimum of 24 semester hours in the biological sciences, including both botany and zoology. In addition, one year of chemistry, physics, and mathematics should be added in the field of studies. Midwest Regional Conference on Science and Mathematics Teacher Education recommends that there will be a balance in botany and zoology. That the principle of selective admissions to the teacher preparation program be adopted. That the most physical education courses not be recognized as the equivalent of courses in the biological sciences. Other curriculum recommendations was given by the National Academy and Sciences.
