The Alliance for Decision Education is catalyzing a transformative movement to empower students with the skills and dispositions for making better decisions. Decision Education prepares students to flourish in our ever-changing world. It’s about teaching students how to think, not what to think.
Join us in this urgent work and inspire a generation of decision makers.
Decisions impact every aspect of a student’s life. Through Decision Education, students develop sound judgment, agency, empathy, and probabilistic thinking, and learn how to recognize and resist cognitive biases. Students are able to make better decisions, become positive change agents, experience individual growth, and be engaged citizens. The impact is exponential.
We are backed by experts in decision sciences and a broad range of other fields—including several Nobel laureates, educators, business professionals, and more. Learn more about the luminaries who make up our board and councils.
Our mission is backed by leaders in business, education, and government, who recognize the ability to make better decisions leads to a more globally competitive workforce, better individual lives, and a better society for all.
60+ years of research has shown the importance of Decision Education. We are continuing to build upon that research base by supporting researchers examining aspects of K-12 student decision-making, distributing findings, and examining and organizing field evidence.
These are teachable skills, and the fact is that if you can improve an individual’s decision-making by 5%, think about how that compounds over the thousands of decisions that they’re making every day.
