Abstract | Despite extensive criticism, ability grouping remains a widespread practice in American secondary schools. This paper considers whether ability grouping can be implemented more effectively than is typical; in particular, it explores possible instances of high- quality instruction in low-ability classes. Data from a study of eighth- and ninth-grade English classes yield two examples of schools with apparently effective instruction in low tracks. These cases are characterized by 1) high expectations by teachers, manifested by a refusal to relinquish the academic curriculum as commonly occurs in low-track classes, 2) extra exertion by teachers to foster extensive oral discourse in class, and 3) no system of sssigning weak or inexperienced teachers to lower tracks.
