[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year, DCPS mandated that all elementary teachers implement Reading Workshop. We use reading comprehension levels to divide our classes into Guided Reading groups. We read and discuss texts according to the Fountas and Pinnell level (from A-Z). This is a form of tracking. It's not a "G/T program" but it does group students by ability.[/quote] What? Are you a teacher? This is absolutely not a form of tracking. It is a form of differentiated instruction within the classroom. [/quote] Yes. I am a teacher. Call it whatever you want. It's redbirds and bluebirds. Only now we call a a TRC reading level.[/quote] Tracking would be entirely different classrooms/programs with little ability to switch up or down once assigned. Tracking has almost never happened at the elementary level except for truly gifted programs. [/quote]
