title: Saving our future: James Comer and the School Development Program.
abstract: Since the founding of the School Development Program (SDP) by Dr. James Comer in 1968, the manner in which child development is addressed in many schools has changed drastically. By working together using the SDP model, schools, parents, and child development experts are able to foster healthy social, emotional, and academic development in children, resulting in improvement in all areas. This review briefly describes the creation and implementation of the SDP model by Dr. James Comer.
