[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. Just the top 15 percent or so are educated separately, 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] AAP/GT is a track and gened is a track that also serves sped ...aap can have sped students but they are not sped due to intellectual capabilities. I am older and there was tracking when I went to school beginning in middle school. Tracks were not as STATIC as aap. There were students from lower tracks that did specific subjects with other tracks. [/quote]
