This US legal analysis of tracking ('ability' grouping) argues that it's a form of racialised 'dignitary harm'. This adds to the growing body of research documenting the shame and humiliation that 'ability' grouping can cause.
In this new law review article, Kumar Ramanathan and Matthew Nelsen suggest that tracking functions as a "dignitary harm of racism" in schools. https://t.co/EKmCxIkdzu

A response to the NZ govt's rapid changes to maths education, with Dr Lisa Darragh. TLDR: not *all* bad but govt using a crisis narrative to justify fast-tracking implementation of poorly justified changes. https://t.co/5hTMNEKGie via @ConversationEDU @AkoResearchUC @UCNZ

Structured maths has been put forward as the answer to New Zealand’s mathematics test results. But the government’s rationale for sweeping changes are based on numbers that don’t tell the full story.

Our current government may be trying its hardest to narrow education, but it's worth remembering NZ has a strong history of creative, arts-based, democratic ideas that have informed our education system. Here's an exciting opportunity for someone to research this further:

"In schools with a socioeconomically and ethnically heterogeneous student population, distinguishing between tracking and segregation is very problematic, as these types of selection mechanism are deeply intertwined..." (p. 161)
New research from international testing demonstrates the relationship among socioeconomic status, Roma ethnicity, and tracking leading to lower academic performance. https://t.co/L0qJ4CwgJq

Great piece on prevalence of streaming maths in Australia - and reasons not to! By Elena Prieto @UON_TTRC @TrackDetrackSIG @GroupingStudy #MixedAttainmentMaths

Ok Tangata Tiriti I need you to listen up. 🧵 We need to talk about comments and how you manage them. I pretty strictly manage my social media. I limit who can comment on my tweets, and block liberally - if you play up in the slightest, you're muted or blocked.
