What we do
Since its inception, CDL has worked diligently to develop its international network of teaching and learning experts to create initiatives that use the most current research-based practices that deliver increased student success. CDL's initiatives and services bring advances from the fields of medicine, psychology, and education into the classroom and home to assist children, their families, teachers, schools, universities and the community by:
- Delivering comprehensive, scientific research-based professional learning for teachers, principals, parents and other professionals who serve children.
- Providing direct services for children and their families through educational evaluations, consultations, and counseling.
- Mobilizing public engagement through summits, forums, newsletters, and an information-rich website.
During the 2007-2008 school year, CDL provided 2,461 educators from 56 Greater New Orleans area schools with a combined 3,298 days
of professional development.
