[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, and this is why tracking could help.

At least the teacher can stick with one lesson!

Tracking just creates levels in a rigid system and doesn’t necessarily promote true differentiation. [/quote]

NP. Is anyone willing to explain the difference between tracking and differentiation? I guess I don’t understand the terminology. I assumed that being on different “tracks” meant having varying levels of instruction and standards, which is what I thought differentiation is.[/quote]

Tracking is grouping kids by ability level in separate classes which harms lower performers

Differentiation is having all the kids in the same classes and having different expectations.  Example, have kids do a book report and expect kids to go in depth at different levels or have a nature unit and require some kids to collect 10 leaf types vs 20 etc.

Again you are talking about elementary school and middle school here which again news flash doesn't matter long term.  In high school you have tracking again.[/quote]
