The Best Resources for Learning About Ability Grouping & Tracking — Help Me Find More
I’ll be doing a column on ability grouping & tracking over at my Education Week Teacher blog, and thought I’d start compiling some useful materials here to share.
This is just a beginning list, and I hope that readers will contribute more in the comments, as well as contribute stories of your direct experiences:
What Are Your Thoughts, & What Has Been Your Experience, With Ability Grouping/Tracking? is a post I published yesterday, which contains a link to a recent USA Today article, additional research, and my own thoughts on the topic. Several important comments have also been left there.
Is Tracking and Ability Grouping Making a Comeback? is from The Brookings Institution and Tom Loveless.
Do schools for ‘the gifted’ promote segregation? is from The Washington Post.
As mentioned earlier, I expect this list to expand, and I hope quickly. Please share your suggestions….
