[quote=Anonymous]I'd say the jury is still somewhat out. We are at Swanson, and the entire grade is already split into 3 teams for core subjects. Now as part of grouping the kids for each subject they also are using the intensified classes as one of the ways they cluster kids. For specials and math they are obviously all mixed together. Know that these are open enrollment and APS really really really wants to make sure they aren't simply white flight in the poorer schools so there is a huge push to get kids across an SES spectrum into these classes. They are working on making them more available to kids with IEPs. Parents have also self-selected for their kids. I'd say we do see a bit more challenge in the expectations and the rubrics. How it's rolled out has been very teacher dependent, though.[/quote]
