Teacher Education Program Overview
The Master of Arts in Teacher Education is a two-year program tailored to the working professional, with most classes scheduled during the summer or in the evening. Courses are theory and practice based. Coursework is completed on the Brigham Young University (BYU) campus.
This program prepares teachers to improve their practice as teachers, become teacher leaders in schools, districts, and other educational settings, and pursue doctoral studies or other advanced scholarship. The courses enhance candidates' abilities to work with both children and teachers and to promote democracy in schools, while also preparing candidates to conduct original research in educational settings.
