McKay Building, the John Taylor Building, and the George Albert Smith Fieldhouse.[2] It was ranked number 84 in the United States for best education schools for 2021.[3]

History

[edit]
David O. McKay, the educator and LDS church president that the McKay School is named after.

The SOE began in 1913 as the Church Teachers College. It has gone through several subsequent name changes: the School of Education (1920), the College of Education (1921), prior to receiving its current name (1998).[4] It was named after David O. McKay, an educator and former president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[5][6]

In 1954, the undergraduate majors outside of elementary education and early childhood education were shifted into the colleges of their specific disciplines. Since then, the SOE has only offered educational methods courses for education majors housed in different colleges.[7] In 2010, the Physical Education Teacher Education major was moved back to the SOE with the dissolution of the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation department.[8]

Dean

[edit]

Kendra M. Hall-Kenyon is serving as the college’s interim dean, following former dean Richard D. Osguthorpe’s appointment as vice president of undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University. Hall-Kenyon joined the McKay School faculty in 2002 and has served as department chair of the Department of Teacher Education before becoming interim dean.[9]

Educator Preparation Program (EPP)

[edit]

The EPP, one of the largest in the nation,[10] coordinates teacher education courses and training for all education degrees at BYU. It coordinates 26 undergraduate degrees, 21 minors, and 4 graduate degrees. These degrees are housed in their respective colleges, but education training is offered through the SOE.

EPP offers secondary education degrees in the areas of world languages, STEM, arts, social sciences, and physical health.[11]

BYU–Public School Partnership

[edit]
Wasatch Elementary School, across the street from BYU, is in the Provo City School District and part of the BYU–Public School Partnership.

Since 1984, the Public School Partnership has facilitated collaboration between (1) the SOE, (2) five Utah school districts (Alpine, Jordan, Nebo, Provo, and Wasatch), and (3) the arts and sciences colleges and departments at BYU that participate in preparing K–12 educators.[12]

This partnership is unique in its size, scope, and longevity.[13] The schools within the partnership are composed of more than 7,000 teachers and approximately 180,000 students. BYU and the SOE graduate approximately 800 certified teachers each year, many of whom receive student teacher training at those schools.[12]
