NADE Definition of Developmental Education

Developmental education is a field of practice and research within higher education with a theoretical foundation in developmental psychology and learning theory.  It promotes the cognitive and affective growth of all postsecondary learners, at all levels of the learning continuum. Developmental education is sensitive and responsive to individual differences and special needs among learners.

NADE seeks to improve the theory and practice of developmental education at all levels of the educational spectrum, the professional capabilities of developmental educators, and the design of programs to prepare developmental educators.
