EspañolTHE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING
:''This article is about a United States organization for academic policy and research. For other uses, see The Carnegie Foundation.''
'Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching', founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1905 and chartered in 1906 by an Act of Congress, is a US-based, independent policy and research center whose charge is "to do and perform all things necessary to encourage, uphold, and dignify the profession of the teacher and the cause of higher education."
The foundation was organized by Henry S. Pritchett who served as president for twenty-four years (1906-1930). In 1918, The Carnegie Foundation started the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA), a fully-funded pension for college professors.
The foundation is a major national and international center for research and policy studies about teaching. Its stated mission is to address the "hardest problems faced in teaching in public schools, colleges and universities," which the Foundation describes as being "how to succeed in the classroom, how best to achieve lasting student learning, and how to assess the impact of teaching on students." It prepares the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
