Tracking students and sorting them into 'higher'/'lower' tracks is a topic that we have really, really firm feelings about. In this episode Pam and Kim discuss the unintended consequences of tracking students and offer some ideas to consider.

Talking Points

• Who does tracking benefit, who does it hurt?
• Distaste for the vocabulary used to describe tracks of kids
• Everyone can do more real math than fake math
• From our experience as a teacher
• From our experience as a parent
• From a student's perspective
