The pejorative used for structuring curriculum and resources based on this observation is "tracking" and aside from special needs and other narrow exceptions it is thought to be a great historical injustice that has largely been eliminated from public schooling in the US. Now we look forward to ending the injustice unequal funding due to differential tax bases among communities has created. Doubtless ending this remaining vestige of inequity will herald a new age of public education excellence in the US.
Or something.
- simion314 5y agoSo in my country Romania, we have national exams, then the children will fill a list of high-schools+ profile pair(HighScoolA - Informatics, HighSchoolB -Informatics, HighSchyoolA -Science ....) so mostly you get in same class children that had very similar results at the national exam. But there still is the children learn at different speed or some are left behind, at least in my son case I feel in Math they move too fast, there was the same when I was in high school too.
- nicoburns 5y agoTracking isn't necessarily a pejorative. It's still considered a good strategy here in the UK (although it isn't used universally).
- zozbot234 5y agoMastery learning is not "tracking". The students aren't stuck on a pre-defined track, they're just going through the material at a different pace.
