These can include social indicators, such as information provided on registration forms, initial interviews with parents, and teachers’ prior knowledge about specific students. Research over many years has confirmed that tracking is frequently linked with racial, ethnic, and social class differences" (93 Nieto & Bode). I chose this topic because I feel that tracking is something that affected me in my early years of school when my parents were a low income household and when my understanding of the english language was poor.]]> 2022-06-15 18:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/junca003/bt2x4sup3ljowid9/wish/2222250584 junca003 https://padlet.com/junca003/bt2x4sup3ljowid9/wish/2222256105 This article serves as a basic introduction to tracking.

For example, they did this by adding ELA as extra classes and not as something that would replace another important class like math. This put non english speakers on a more equal playing field.]]> 2022-06-15 18:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/junca003/bt2x4sup3ljowid9/wish/2222262509 junca003 https://padlet.com/junca003/bt2x4sup3ljowid9/wish/2222265507 This article explains how tracking follows students even outside the k-12 setting as colleges sometimes base their choices on private information regarding a students status. This has detrimental effects on underprivileged students.]]> 2022-06-15 18:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/junca003/bt2x4sup3ljowid9/wish/2222265507 junca003 https://padlet.com/junca003/bt2x4sup3ljowid9/wish/2222267290 This article explains Jeannie Oaks (former teacher and now author) position on tracking and the effects she saw first hand at her own school. ]]> 2022-06-15 18:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/junca003/bt2x4sup3ljowid9/wish/2222267290
