Dr. Linda Espey, associate professor of education
Welcome to the Education Department! I teach Instructional Planning adn Assessment, Teaching Elementary Math, and I supervise student teaching. I also coordinate our e-portfolio effort in the Education Department - this helps us continue to improve our programs for the benefit of future teachers and students. I blend theory and application by having students think about their future classrooms. I have two sons and two very clever beagles. See you in class! |

Pam Lonneman, assistant professor of education
Welcome! I teach Introduction to
Education, Engaging All Learners, Human Relations, Instructional Strategist I
Methods and Teaching Balanced Literacy Grades 3-8. I supervise student teachers and practicum students and
I’m the advisor for Education Club. Before GV, I
taught for 13 years in three different school districts as a special education
teacher and I was
the Special Education Strategist for one of the districts. I’m a GV
grad and received my Masters Degree at Drake University. I’m currently pursuing my doctorate at
Walden University. The most important entity as an
educator is to know and understand my students individually. I reside in Adel with my husband and
two daughters. I enjoy many sports
and outdoor activities as well as reading.

Dr. Chad Timm, assistant professor of education
As a former secondary social studies teacher (for 15 years), you're most likely to find me teaching courses like Introduction to Education, Secondary Teaching Methods, and Social Studies Methods. My philosophy of teaching rests on a desire to take new understandings outside of the classroom and put them into practice. I aim to teach prospective teachers to utilize the historical, philosophical, and social foundations of education as tools to develop critical contexts in which to understand the present. Understanding the various forces that have shaped American education over the course of its history can help students prepare to meet the challenges of tomorrow. I enjoy abstract expressionist art, the Jazz music of John Coltrane, and spending time outdoors with my incredible wife and four children. I look forward working with you on your journey to become an educator!

Dr. Robin Trimble White, professor of education
Welcome to the Grand View Education Department! I have taught education courses here for ten years, and I'm the Education Department Chair and Director of the Teacher Education Program. I also supervise student teaching and student practicums. We are all learners and teachers, and it is the role of the teacher to challenge students but students decide what they will ultimately learn. Education is a lifelong process and we learn best when we have a reason for learning. My husband and I love traveling and I love to cook - my scotcharoo cookies are a favorite across campus! Looking forward to exploring the education field with you! |
