One reform that people advocate to improve the quality of schooling in the U.S. is to increase school choice. There are private schools, charter schools, or magnet schools. Your city may provide a lottery to provide access to other local public schools. Your city or state may provide tax credits or vouchers to help parents pay for the cost of private schooling. Many people are concerned about what increased school choice might look like. Here are four things you should know about school choice: First, school choice doesn’t require parents to bear the full cost of educating their child. Currently, local, state, and federal governments both fund and produce schooling. But we can separate these two activities: governments can fund schooling without producing it. For example, they can fund charter schools run by private organizations, or they can provide vouchers to help pay for private school. Second, school choice lowers the cost of schooling. A lot of people think that more choice means more expensive education. But U.S. and international evidence show that areas that have more choice spend less money per pupil. Providing families with more options about where to send their child to school lowers the cost of educating that child. Third, school choice raises the quality of schooling. A lot of people are concerned that with more choices, parents may not make good educational choices for their children. But U.S. and international evidence show that areas that have more school choice have the same or higher quality schooling. When families have more choices, parents report being more satisfied and less concerned about their children’s safety. Schools that depend on parents enrolling their children to continue to operate are more likely to provide the educational environment that parents want. Fourth, low income and minority students are more likely to benefit from school choice programs. Many charter schools and private schools, particularly Catholic schools, serve low income and minority students, and these students are more likely to benefit from choice programs presumably because their public school options are worse. Florida Special Education Voucher program is a good example of how more school choice can lower the cost of schooling while maintaining the quality of education for some of our most vulnerable students. The U.S. school system is failing our children. We have thrown money at the problem for years with little or no effect. School choice lowers the cost of schooling while providing at least as good if not higher quality schooling by providing options for children and their families.
History
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
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)
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
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]
