Alliance for Decision Education

According to a new report, 77% of families and 68% of education leaders strongly agree that children should learn decision-making skills.

So how do we respond to that demand?

Today, we published a first-of-its-kind report, “The State of Decision Education 2026.”

Inside, you’ll see how:
- Families and education leaders value decision skills
- Decision Education fits within what schools already teach
- Tennessee offers a model for integrating decision-making skills into existing courses

Read to discover the path ahead for schools, families, curriculum partners, and funders to bring these critical skills to students.

You can practice forecasting almost anywhere. How long will it take to clean up after dinner? How many days will it rain next week?

With our new family forecasting activity, your family can turn these questions into opportunities to build better decision-making skills.

Forecasting is about making a reasonable prediction, explaining your thinking, and learning from what actually happens. When we make well-reasoned forecasts, we can make decisions with a clearer sense of what might happen.

Help your family prepare for the decisions ahead. Download our activity today!

Most of us approach a disagreement with one goal: change the other person’s mind.

But Dr. Julia Minson, professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School and author of How to Disagree Better, points out that the odds of persuading someone else are often close to zero.

So what’s a realistic goal? Understanding what they believe, why they believe it, and where the real gap lies.

On the latest episode of The Decision Education Podcast, Julia joins host @AnnieDuke to talk about why disagreements go wrong and how to have them go well.
