In lieu of a conference gift, the ILN will be making a donation on behalf of our attendees to the Alliance for Decision Education. Joe Sweeney, the CEO of the Alliance will join us to share some information about the organization and its work.
The Alliance for Decision Education is dedicated to the belief that better decisions lead to better lives and a better society. Its mission is to improve lives by empowering students with essential skills and dispositions for making better decisions. In 2014, they began working with education experts to create engaging and award-winning programs that introduced decision-making skills to students across the country. Informed by their success, they realized they had to do more.
Today, the Alliance for Decision Education gathers education and industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, teachers, program providers, and parents from across the country to ensure Decision Education is part of every K-12 student’s learning experience. They are building the field of Decision Education and creating a national movement that can, and will, make a difference in students' lives for generations to come.
