Academic Effectiveness or Social Reform? A Response to Robert Slavin and Jomills H. Braddock III.

Gallagher, James J.

College Board Review, n168 p18-19,34-35 Sum 1993

This response to HE 531 676 proposes that critics of ability grouping for instruction are looking at grouping as a social, not educational, issue and that research supports the notion that grouping is good for all students, not just high-achievers. Gifted education is seen as a legitimate educational undertaking compatible with other goals. (MSE)
