Organizational Structure of the Eisenhower Consortium Organizational Structure AEL, Inc., is a nonprofit, regionally oriented education research, development, and service institution. Its mission is to link the knowledge from research with the wisdom from practice to improve teaching and learning. AEL works closely with schools, school districts, and states to develop, test, and refine practical products and processes that address needs expressed by local educators.
Resources thus developed are then available to others working on similar problems.
AEL's major work is funded through several contracts and grants from the U.S. Department of Education. We sponsor professional development training that reflects both the national standards and individual states' curriculum frameworks. The Consortium works with state steering committees of mathematics and science teachers and educators. Staff from the Consortium and the Comprehensive Center work together as a team within the Unit to improve educational opportunities for all students.
