Carnegie Foundation Snapshot
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is committed to solving longstanding inequities in educational outcomes. The foundation addresses problems that impact large numbers of students, tests innovations on the ground; understands what works, why it works, and in what contexts; and shares what it learns for use by others. In so doing, Carnegie integrates the discipline of improvement science and the use of structured improvement networks to build the education field’s capacity to improve.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is an independent policy and research center, whose primary activities have resulted in published reports on every level of education. Influential Foundation achievements include publication of the Flexner Report on medical education, creation of the Carnegie Unit, founding the Educational Testing Service, establishment of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, and introduction of ideas around the scholarship of teaching and learning.
The Foundation also developed the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA) and was a leader in the effort to provide federal aid for higher education, including Pell Grants, which assist low- and middle-income students.
