The mission of Brigham Young University--founded, supported, and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life. That assistance should provide a period of intensive learning in a stimulating setting where a commitment to excellence is expected and the full realization of human potential is pursued. All instruction, programs, and services at BYU, including a wide variety of extracurricular experiences, should make their own contribution toward the balanced development of the total person. Such a broadly prepared individual will not only be capable of meeting personal challenge and change but will also bring strength to others in the tasks of home and family life, social relationships, civic duty, and service to mankind.
This department oversees graduate and undergraduate work within the fields of Early Childhood Education (degrees offered are: BS), Elementary Education (degrees offered are: BS), Secondary Education (degrees offered are: BS), and Physical Education Teaching/Coaching (degrees offered are: BS). This department offers minors in PE Teaching/Coaching and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). It's goal is to prepare teachers for the workplace.
 
The institutional objectives of the university are to educate the minds and spirits of students within a learning environment that increases faith in God and the Restored Gospel, is intellectually enlarging, is character building, and leads to a life of learning and service; advance truth and knowledge in order to enhance the education of students, enrich the quality of life and contribute to a resolution of world problems; extend the blessings of learning to members of the Church in all parts of the world; and develop friends for the University and the Church.


==Assets and Administrative Structure==
==Assets and Administrative Structure==


Brigham Young University is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as part of the Church Educational System (CES). The university is governed by a Board of Trustees, which, since 1939, has consisted of the First Presidency of the Church as well as other General Authorities or general officers of the Church appointed by the First Presidency. The Board of Trustees provides general direction and oversees the formulation of broad policies as well as the approval of all executive leadership and faculty appointments at the university. The Board of Trustees delegates to the University President the responsibility to conduct the operations of the institution and administer the policies enacted by the board. The President serves as the chief executive officer and general manager of the University. Since 1996, the President of the university has also been a General Authority of the Church.
The department operated under a chairman who reported to the dean of the school.
 
Throughout the history of Brigham Young University, a series of councils have assisted the President in implementing and administering board-approved policies at the University. At the highest level, these have included the Presidency of the University (1904-1920), an Administrative Council (1920-1921), an informal presidency (1950s), another Administrative Council (1958-1971), and the President's Council (circa 1980- ). Various other councils and standing committees have likewise existed throughout the university's history to help advise and give recommendations to the University President. Among these was the University Council (1906-1960) which acted as the legislative body of the faculty within the jurisdiction set by the Board of Trustees. Among the numerous councils and standing committees which currently function in the university are the following: the Student Advisory Council, the Faculty Advisory Council, the Administrative Advisory Council and the Deans' Council.
 
Changes in university policies and programs may be suggested by individuals as well as any of these or other councils and committees. These suggestions are advanced through the various councils to the President's Council. After considering these changes, the President's Council takes their proposals to the Church Commissioner of Education. From there the policies are reviewed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees who then makes the final recommendation to the full Board of Trustees.
