The College Discovery and Development Program (CDDP), a City University of New York and Board of Education Consortium, has existed since 1966. With the long-range goal of improving students’ skills in high school to enable them to succeed in college, CDDP's more immediate objectives are the following: (1) identification of junior high school students with undeveloped potential and (2) provision of an educational sequence (including remediation in mathematics and language arts) that contributes to students’ advancement and success in completing all academic coursework in high school required for entrance into college.
