About DEF

Our lives and our society are shaped by the choices we make as students, professionals, consumers, citizens, and family members. Yet few of us are taught how to make good decisions, even though the basic concepts can be grasped at an early age. As a result, we may miss out on major opportunities or fall into serious trouble by succumbing to impulse, external persuasion, or well-documented “decision traps” which cloud our logic.

We can change this for our children. As we face the challenges of preparing young people to succeed in an increasingly complex global environment, we need to make decision competence a key element of essential 21st century skills as defined by leading educators.

DEF is undertaking this mission on a nonprofit basis. We are a 501(c)(3) organization established in 2001 by educators, decision scientists, and successful business people with a passion for education and an interest in providing decision education to today’s youth.
