The National Learning Foundation was created out of the White House mandate to build national awareness and develop needed 21st Century learning environments. Throughout the country, business, industry, and education are redefining themselves to meet the challenges of virtual corporations, agile manufacturing, information superhighways, and the global marketplace. As business and industry redefine themselves to meet the challenges of the new global marketplace, so has the National Learning Foundation adopted a broader, more critical mission--that of driving the formation of a 21st Century learning society. The National Learning Foundation plays a fundamental role in identifying, promoting, and creating solutions to the learning needs of individuals to relate productively and healthily in the future--to become more than lifespan learners, to become agile learners.

Powerful Learning Innovations - From the beginning in 1990, the National Learning Foundation (NLF) has been building a database of educational and learning innovations. Throughout this period a growing network of business, governmental, and academic collaborators have been interpreting the results of human performance studies related to stress, creativity, brain activity and mind-body linkages. In particular, brain research results clearly indicated ways to enhance learning and the nature of an effective learning environment.

The National Learning Foundation sees in these innovations the power needed to address the gap between school attainment and the quality of learning needed in the workplace. To cite but one simple example, robust research results indicated that innovations providing emotionally safe, playful atmospheres enabled learners to master information more quickly and to translate more readily their learning into higher quality performance.
