The David O. McKay School of Education, namesake of David O. McKay, operates one of the largest teacher preparation programs in the United States. The school specializes in improving learning and teaching in the school as well as in the home, church and community worldwide. The McKay School is located on the southwest end of Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah and is housed in the David O. McKay Building. Originally founded as the College of Education, the school was officially renamed the David O. McKay School of Education in 1996. ==History== The David O. McKay School of Education began in 1913 as an integral part of BYU named the Church Teachers College with Edwin S. Hinckley as the first dean. It was renamed the School of Education in 1920 and in 1921 became the College of Education.〔Wilkinson. ''BYU 100''. Vol. 2, p. 776〕 Prior to 1954, BYU's College of Education was much larger in its scope than it is today. Two reorganizations happened in that year that made the school more focused in its curriculum. First the Department of Physical Education, Health and Recreation was broken off into a separate college. Second, the undergraduate majors outside of elementary education and early-childhood education were shifted to the colleges of their specific discipline, with only the educational methods courses they needed being offered through the school of education. The later change was facilitated by the appointment of Reuben D. Law--dean of education and a supporter of the broad and all-inclusive education program--as president of BYU Hawaii and being replaced by Asahel Woodruff--a strong advocate of cooperation between the School of Education and other colleges.〔Ernest L. Wilkinson, ed., ''Brigham Young University: The First One Hundred Years''. (Provo: Brigham Young University Press, 1975) Vol. 2, p. 641-643〕 In 2009 the Physical Education Teaching/Coaching major, which had left the College of Education with the rest of the Health, P.E., and Recreation major in 1955, was brought back into the McKay School with the dissolution of the College of Health and Human Performance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David O.
