[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CogAT and NNAT aren't IQ tests. AAP isn't full tracking from the top to the bottom of ability. Maybe it could be considered partial tracking.[b] Just the top 15 percent or so are educated separately, [/b]so this system avoids some of the pitfalls of tracking. No one (individual, or socioeconomic group) is singled out as being in the lowest group. For all anyone knows, any child in GE could be at the 85th percentile. The lowest performers can benefit from the influence of the highest performers, and the highest performers can develop more confidence. [/quote] But AAP is not the top 15%. Many of those kids are in General Ed. Nor would it surprise me to find some of the kids in AAP do not fall into the top 15%. It is truly ridiculous. [/quote]
