About the Book

This illustrated history of the Indiana University-Bloomington School of Education tells the dynamic, 100-year old story of the state’s leading research and teacher education institution. The dynamic story begins with the founding of Indiana University in 1820. Against great odds, Indiana University’s School of Education advanced from a handful of students and professors in the early nineteenth century to one of the top schools of education. As a one-hundredth anniversary volume, the book shifts to 1923 when the School was authorized to award its own degree. From its first research publication, first doctoral degree, and the opening of a laboratory school in 1938, the School grew rapidly. The return of servicemen and women from World War II on the G.I. Bill filled classrooms and brought significant expansion to teacher education. Likewise, the National Defense Education Act of 1958 extended the School’s counseling and guidance programs. International programs flourished, development of educational technology became a national trendsetter, and from 1958 to 1973 the School operated 29 research centers and institutes. Teacher education anchored enrollment at IU’s regional campuses. By the early 1990s, the School had a new home in a national demonstration site for technology in education. The last thirty years have witnessed significant growth in every aspect of the School’s portfolio – state, national, and international service, research, teaching, diversity, and inclusion. IU’s first all-online doctoral program launched in 2011 in instructional systems technology. A living-learning center for teacher education students opened in 2014. In 2020 the School celebrated 50 years of its Global Gateway for Teachers, placing student teachers in 21 countries, the Navajo Nation, and an urban program in Chicago. Looking back on its one hundred years, the School has turned adversity into a thriving institution providing Indiana and the world with outstanding teachers, counselors, educational leaders, and ground-breaking research.
