International Education

The educational concerns of public institutions and other government agencies, foundations, and businesses, have by necessity become more international in scope. New approaches are needed to address the broader learning requirements of organizations involved with the worldwide community. CD&A brings our experience with international and multicultural education to help our clients meet these educational needs. In addition to our evaluation and research services, we offer Spanish language expertise and we are certified to administer and interpret the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI).
