Previous Work

The Knowledge Media Laboratory (KML) worked to create a future in which communities of teachers, faculty, programs, and institutions collectively advanced teaching and learning by exchanging their educational knowledge, experiences, ideas, and reflections by taking advantage of various technologies and resources.

Carnegie’s undergraduate education programs investigated the conditions under which teaching occurred and what it looked like. Central was the design of ways to expand upon it in order to improve and advance classroom teaching and student learning at colleges and universities. We also worked to support a definition of liberal education that included a commitment to diversity and supports the engagement and empowerment of students as participating and contributing members of society.

Carnegie has a long history in the study of professional education, beginning with The Flexner Report in 1910 and legal education in the 1930s. In this tradition, Carnegie investigated the preparation of several professions, and also examined the doctorate as the professional degree for college and university teachers.

The Foundation’s work with K-12 teachers and those who educate teachers involved the development of dynamic examples of exceptional classroom teaching in diverse classroom settings to give educators the pedagogical tools to further advance the preparation of our nation’s teaching force.
