[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^ Watkins isn't a neighborhood school. The four points above seem accurate. The data on test scores doesn't lie. How can a teacher perform differentiated teaching when students are so far apart? If the students were all within a narrow band of accomplishment, it can work. But it cannot work with polar opposites; high achievers get left looking at the ceiling. [/quote] It can also work with extra hands on deck, as posters have noted. A single teacher generally can't differentiate effectively when kids are all over the map academically, but two in a classroom have a real shot if class sizes aren't large. This explains why the well-resourced PTAs on the Hill hire classroom aides and work hard to place student teachers in classrooms. Traditionally, the Cluster hasn't paid for teachers aides despite fundraising aggressively since the 90s.[/quote]
