Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching

The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching “advocates for the use of improvement science to accelerate how a field learns to improve.”

Essentially, everything they do is about guiding passionate education professionals to form networking communities driven to solve a specific issue. For example, they helped organize a “Networked Improvement Community” that was passionate about resolving the inefficiencies in the current system’s model for developmental mathematics.

By forming this community, they were able to identify ways to provide a healthier environment for all post-secondary learners to successfully complete the required mathematics credits demanded by most four-year universities. While supporting NICs on the ground, the foundation is also dedicated to producing high-quality, freely accessible research publications that provide insight into a wide variety of education topics. Dive into the wealth of resources the foundation has to offer, and discover parallels to the work happening in your learning environment.
