In one of Carol Fry Bohlin's recent Comet newsletters she writes about this project and provides a web-site about it. Hope this helps. "Puerto Rico Closes the Gap" by Marjorie Coeyman http://www.csmonitor.com/sections/learning/mathmelt/p-2story053000.html For all the debate about overhauling math education in the US, there have been few actual gains in student achievement. That's why news of a program in Puerto Rico has drawn attention from those interested in math reform. In 1992, the island launched an initiative in its public schools, aiming to close a 70-point gap between public school students and their private-school counterparts on standardized tests. Educators expected modest improvement, but got a lot more*
