Continuing Education Faculty
 
In addition to the continuing education that the center provides through its Parenting Instructor Training Workshops, it also provides other types of continuing education activities.
 
Many of these activities take the form of training conferences where professionals and community decision-makers are educated about the latest parenting issues and research, and about the latest parenting programs and the research on their effectiveness. Other of CICC's continuing education efforts focus on teaching specific courses for specific professionals groups.

Literally hundreds of the nation's top experts on parenting, parenting programs, and other important topics and issues have served as Continuing Education Faculty for CICC's many local, statewide and national training conferences and courses.

The following is a list of those who served as faculty for the three national conferences that CICC conducted in the mid 1990's and their affiliations at that time. After that long and distinguished list, you will find the faculty of a more recent CICC continuing education endeavor, a course for psychologists in Los Angeles on The Development Assessment of Children Birth through Five Years of Age.
