To Advance Learning

By Manuel N. Gomez and Joan Bissell

This handbook describes why and how to implement a partnership like Project STEP, which achieved extraordinary success in raising the academic aspirations and achievements of students in a school district composed currently of 56% language minority students.
Project STEP has received both state and national recognition for its achievements as a partnership. The National Commission on Excellence in Education cited STEP in A Nation Responds, the sequel to the Nation at Risk report. The project has been included by The College Board as a national program model for university/school partnerships in the Educational Equality Project Models Program. The California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) selected Project STEP as a showcase project to demonstrate the power of this collaborative model to effect necessary educational reform. Co-published with Project STEP, University of California, Irvine.
