Our Basic Principles
A global research network to improve our understanding of variability in learning and development through coordinated data collection.

Open-access, gold-standard assessment measures on development and learning
To understand the nature of developmental variability alongside its counterpart, developmental continuity, LEVANTE provides researchers with open-access to direct and indirect holistic assessment measures of core constructs, enabling them to gather a large, rich, multi-context dataset measuring change over time in children aged 2 – 12 years.
Unique, field-leading open-access database
The LEVANTE Data Repository (LDR) serves as a centralized repository for the standardized datasets generated via this framework, and allows for the open sharing and reuse of these data. Hosted by Stanford University, LDR is the first cross-cultural, multidisciplinary open dataset that captures the richness and diversity of child development and learning.
Coordinated data collection across teams
LEVANTE is designed to enable coordinated data collection around measuring children’s variability within and across individuals, groups, and cultures. Distributed across groups and populations via a call for proposals, data collection will result in an interrelated set of accelerated, longitudinal studies that use the same sampling plan and core measure set.
