[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.brookings.edu/research/reports/2013/03/18-tracking-ability-grouping-loveless See the footnotes.[/quote] Thanks! I was not overwhelmed ith the amount of research available on this subject! The Brooking report was mostly a summary of whether tracking and ability grouping was happening in schools, and in which years. The footnotes cited a few studies. One of which seems to say that among AA and Hispanic kids, ability grouping (versus teaching everyone the same thing at the same time) wasn't beneficial to kids in the low group but was beneficial to the kids in the high group. To me that seems to say, whatever was happening in the high group (i.e. good instruction) should also be happening in the low group. Why force those kids in the high group back to the mixed ability classroom,n where it was shown that they didn't advance as much?[/quote]
