The National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE) is an American not-for-profit education lobbying group based in Washington, DC[1] that first opened in 1988 in Rochester, New York. The organization is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and has previously "advocated for common core curriculum and local control of school systems".[1]
The NCEE's stated mission is, "To analyze the implications of changes in the international economy for American education, formulate an agenda for American education based on that analysis and seek wherever possible to accomplish that agenda through policy change and development of the resources educators would need to carry it out."[2]
History[]
Its precursor, the Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy, was established by the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1985.[3][non-primary source needed] The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards was established in response to a 1986 report by Marc Tucker, "A Nation Prepared: Teachers for the 21st Century." This Board established the NCEE in 1988 with Tucker as founder, CEO, and president.[4][non-primary source needed]
In 2010, NCEE organized a new program with a $1.5 million planning grant from the Gates Foundation, to help the NCEE "work with states and districts" develop their Early College High School (ECHS) programs, through which students can take a mixture of high school and college classes, and receive both a high school diploma and up to two years of college credits. The goal is to insure that "students have mastered a set of basic requirements" and to reduce the "numbers of high school graduates who need remedial courses when they enroll in college."[5][6][7][8][9]
NCEE's Center on International Education Benchmarking (CIEB) funds and conducts research to identify education strategies. Its director is Jackie Kraemer.[10]
NCEE was a consultant for the Kirwan Commission, which included NCEE's "9 Building Blocks for a World-Class Education System" as a component of its work.[11][non-primary source needed][12][non-primary source needed]
