Project Adelante focuses on educational equity for ELs through acceleration rather than remediation. The RULE of 3 (RAP) is an innovative model of language and literacy development, the result of school-based research, including a $2.7 million DOE grant. The RAP closed the gap from 12.9 to 1.8 with students gaining 2-4 language/literacy levels. The RAP received a Model of Excellence and a California School Boards Golden Bell Award for closing the achievement gap.
