[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And as people have stated, putting less weight on test scores would result in lowering the ability of the group: [quote] Kimberly Petrola, a fourth-grade teacher at Fox Chapel Elementary School in Germantown, one of the Centers for Enriched Studies, [b]acknowledged that instruction had changed since the school became part of the pilot program last year, ahead of the rest of the county. With a more diverse student body, not every child performed above grade level[/b], Ms. Petrola said. She said she and other teachers used ability grouping to teach at different levels. For example, for a unit in which students read an author’s autobiography and fiction side by side, to look for consistent themes, some groups were assigned authors who wrote at a more challenging reading level.[/quote][/quote] That was happening 15+ years ago, when the HGC was expanded due to political pressure. ~CES (former HGC) teacher[/quote]
