McKay School Mission

The mission of the David O. McKay School of Education is to improve
learning and teaching in the school as well as in the home, church, and community worldwide.

A Culture of Renewal

Strengthen children and youth in a changing world

The McKay School of Education is engaged in teaching and research that will improve the academic and personal development of BYU students and of  K-12 students throughout Utah, the nation, and the world.

Prepare noble educators for the challenges of a changing world

The McKay School of Education uses the Moral Dimensions of Teaching developed by John Goodlad as an integral part of educator development. The Moral Dimensions are the foundation of our work in the BYU-Public School Partnership and in the campuswide BYU Educator Preparation Program.

Extend the benefits of our research and creative work to a changing world

The McKay School of Education is actively supporting research and encouraging creative works to build a foundation of better trained educators and better educated citizens throughout the United States and the world.
