[quote=Anonymous]For elementary school - flexible ability grouping
By definition, heterogenous grouping means everyone gets less instructional time at their level. Flexible ability grouping allows kids to be taught according to their level, but they are not pigeonholed into rigid tracks.  Here’s an example of where it has been implemented effectively.

I would think that having the elementary school classes taught at the same time by different people would be most effective, so that students can be easily transferred to another level as necessary without disrupting the schedule.

Middle school should be taught on different distinct levels, like high school classes that are taught at on level, honors, and AP level classes. There shouldn’t be gatekeeping, but if a student can’t meet the demands of the class, they should be prepared to drop to a lower level if necessary. Students should meet the level of the class, rather than dropping the rigor to accommodate students who can’t satisfy the class’s requirements.
