A Program for Disciple–Scholars

In the Teacher Education department, we recognize how spiritual and academic inquiry are interconnected and guided by the Holy Spirit (D&C 6:14; 3 Nephi 27:29). We follow the divine inquiry process laid out by our Savior. We faithfully ask to receive truth and inspiration, following the Master Teacher “full of grace, equity, and truth” (Alma 9:26) as we engage in critical educational research to improve the lives of children, youth, and families.

Mentored Research that Matters

Our program centers on meaningful mentored research, not as an academic formality, but as a process of deep learning and discovery. You’ll work side-by-side with faculty mentors to:

· Ask critical questions about your teaching and practice

· Explore literature to understand complex educational issues

· Engage in ethical, equity-focused inquiry

· Design and carry out a thesis that contributes real value to schools and communities

You'll emerge as a producer of knowledge, capable of shaping the field of education—not just responding to it.
