Indiana University Bloomington School of Education is a public academic unit within Indiana University, founded in 1908, that prepares educators, education researchers, school psychologists, and educational leaders through undergraduate majors, master's, doctoral (Ph.D., Ed.D.), specialist, and certificate programs. Primary customer segments are prospective education students and practicing P-12 educators and school leaders; secondary segments include Indiana P-12 schools and districts (clinical placement partners) and international academic institutions. The school operates from the Wright Education building at 201 N.

The school's product portfolio comprises on-campus academic programs (Elementary, Secondary, Special, Early Childhood Education, Counseling Psychology, School Psychology, Higher Education, Learning Sciences), accelerated master's pathways, the Transition to Teaching program for career-changers, an ecosystem of research centers (CEEP, CPR, CRLT, plus the Early Autism Research Initiative), clinical experience placements with Indiana P-12 schools, and community youth programs (Saturday Art School, Saturday Science Quest, Partners in Education, HOPE Mentoring in USA/Mexico/Costa Rica, MILL Makerspace).

The school holds stacked accreditations (CAEP, APA Counseling Psychology, APA School Psychology, NASP, MPCAC, HLC) and has earned recognition including the NAFSA Senator Paul Simon Spotlight Award (2021), IIE Heiskell Awards (2011, 2017), Goldman Sachs Foundation Prize for Excellence (2005), AACTE Best Practice Awards (2001, 2016), and the John W.
