Deans for Impact (DFI) is a national nonprofit in the education sector based in Austin, Texas, focused on ensuring every child is taught by well-prepared teachers. It supports educator-preparation programs to bring principles from cognitive science into teaching practice, and it works with policymakers to create pathways into teaching that are instructionally focused and practice-based. It also provides leaders with tools to address current challenges in educator preparation, with the aim of helping aspiring and early-career teachers foster rigorous and supportive classrooms. The organization has launched several initiatives, including the Leading and Learning series in 2022 and the Early Numeracy by Scientific Design Network in 2024, to advance evidence-based instructional practices in teacher training. In 2026, DFI participated in Washington Week 2026 as a co-sponsor alongside AACTE and the National Center for Teacher Residencies, with the event scheduled for June 1-3, 2026 in Washington, D.C.
