Together, with partners, we can forge catalytic and intentional connections across boundaries – practice, scholarship, policy, design, innovation and with the commercial and social sectors. We aim to have a demonstrable impact on the trajectories of millions of young people, and in so doing, advance economic and educational opportunity at broad scale.

The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was chartered by an act of Congress in 1906. Since then, it has pioneered a remarkable range of advancements in K–12 and higher education, including the creation of the Carnegie Unit; TIAA; standards for schools of law, medicine, education, and engineering; the Educational Testing Service; the GRE; Pell Grants; the Carnegie Classifications; the U.S. Department of Education; and the use of improvement science and networked improvement communities to improve student learning.
