The recipient of a master's degree in educational leadership from Aurora University, Edward Brandon is an experienced middle school and high school teacher who spent most of his career working for East Aurora School District 131. Supplementing 13 years of experience teaching at East Aurora, Edward Brandon holds membership with the Illinois Education Association (IEA).
The IEA highlights outstanding achievements among students, teachers, as well as other educational professionals and supporters with annual awards, one of which is the Bob Haisman Teacher of the Year Award. The award is named in honor of the former IEA president and given each year to a teacher with fewer than five years of experience who has made significant contributions to the profession and promotes public education. Nominations can be submitted by members of the IEA board of directors or the presidents of local chapters.
The award was approved in 1999 when Haisman, a former teacher at Hinsdale High School (HHS), stepped down as president of IEA. Haisman taught in Illinois for 32 years, during which time he was a three-time recipient of the Teacher of the Year award at HHS and served multiple stints as president of the HHS Teachers Association. He was elected president of IEA in 1993 after winning 73 percent of the vote in the three-person race.
