Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracking is the practice of grouping students into different curricular paths based on their perceived ability level. This can result in some students being placed in more challenging classes, while others are placed in less challenging classes. This approach has been criticized for exacerbating existing inequalities and limiting the opportunities available to students who are not placed in high-level classes.
