Alliance for Decision Education Profile

Decision Education is focused on teaching middle and high school students the skills, concepts, and dispositions that will help them become effective decision-makers. Decision Education helps students make better personal decisions, including ones that improve academics, careers, health and wellness, and relationships. It also prepares them to make informed, sustainable decisions within their communities that will foster a more harmonious and productive society such as strengthening the links between education and the workforce, supporting public health, and managing natural resources. 

Why is Decision Education important? 

We make thousands of decisions every day. They include in-the-moment choices like whether to react to a text message while driving, reinforcing or disrupting habits like eating a doughnut for breakfast, and contemplating major decisions like which career to pursue, whether to move, or whether to have children. We face different challenges as we make decisions as individuals and within groups. Improving our skills and dispositions for making better decisions—starting when we’re students—represents the surest way we can improve our lives, our families, and our communities.

The Alliance for Decision Education is a dedicated team of educators, researchers, communicators, subject matter experts, and other professionals who have come from different backgrounds for a common purpose. We believe that better decisions lead to better lives and a better society.

We are building the national movement for Decision Education that can, and will, make a difference in the lives of students for generations to come.

The Alliance for Decision Education provides competitive pay and benefits, a healthy work-life balance, and a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative workplace. Alliance employees are proud of where they work, and are dedicated to ensuring Decision Education is part of every middle and high school student’s learning experience.
