Our Mission:

Close the

Achievement Gap

Project Moving Forward was created to establish equity for English learners and other diverse learners by laying a strong foundation in language and literacy in the early grade levels.

About Project Moving Forward

First

Implemented

in California

School Districts

Project Moving Forward was launched in Sacramento in Northern California and in Moreno Valley in Southern California to increase student achievement in low performing schools. Academic results, highlighted by the Sacramento Bee and Press Enterprise newspapers, documented notable gains in California API test scores.

California Schools

In 2012, Project Moving Forward was awarded a $1.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to expand its reach. In 2017, the program received an additional $2.7 million under the name Project Adelante Moving Forward to focus on early literacy starting in transitional kindergarten.

Child Learning
