Academy for Educational Development

Since its founding in 1961, AED has worked to improve decision making for educational reform and workforce development in the United States. We work at all levels of the education system, focusing on teacher preparation and student achievement. Programs support children with disabilities, Migrant Head Start, high-school and middle-school reform, youth engagement, and access to higher education.

For more than 30 years, AED has worked to increase access to quality K-12 education in more than 30 developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. AED's efforts have focused on improving teaching and learning, involving parents in schools, creating more opportunities for girls, and integrating technology into education strategies.
