Mission and Vision

Vision Statement

The Edmund J. Gleazer School of Education is committed to being a premier Educator Preparation Program (EPP) that is visionary, innovative, responsive, and transformative.

Mission Statement

We develop educational leaders who practice an ethic of care and are agents for social change. We create inclusive learning communities that are reflexive and transformative. Supported by evolving technologies, we are process-oriented and purposefully work toward our goal to provide an innovative and cutting-edge program. We have an expressed and committed sensitivity to diverse learners. Our candidates learn to utilize a culturally-responsive pedagogy that meets the challenges of a global world.

The faculty is committed to professional development, and in turn, supports students in career-oriented paths of learning resulting in the development of competent professional educators. The Gleazer School of Education is dedicated to promoting visionary, innovative, responsive and transformative communities of practice.

Conceptual Framework

The GSOE Conceptual Framework expands on the mission and identifies four domains that serve as cornerstones of the teacher educator program. Faculty members purposefully move this model to practice and evidence that teachers who care about learners, reflect on instruction, and collaborate with others will have greater impact on student learning and motivation and will become successful leaders in the classroom. This link contains supporting educational literature that aligns with the characteristics of our conceptual framework.

My name is Jordan Buell, and I am the secondary principal at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Jr/Sr High School.

We are seeking applicants for openings in high school Math and Social Studies at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Junior/Senior High School. We are excited to connect with educators who are passionate about supporting students and building strong community relationships.

EBF Jr/Sr High School is located in Eddyville, Iowa—part of a close-knit rural district that also includes the communities of Blakesburg and Fremont. The area offers a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere with access to outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, and camping. We're also just a short drive from larger towns like Ottumwa, Oskaloosa, and Pella, which provide additional amenities, entertainment, and cultural opportunities.

Any students who are graduating and interested in learning more about EBF are welcome to apply!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions
