International Perspectives on Tracking and Social Injustice
Sat, April 18, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session will present new empirical research from Norway, England and the USA on the social justice implications of tracking. It will explore national and local interpretations of Norwegian education policy and its enactment in mathematics classrooms; the experiences of Black-Caribbean students in tracked schools in New York and London; the impact of tracking over time on the attainment of students in English secondary schools; and consider the challenges of researching this area at scale, using the example of a new study of tracked and detracked mathematics classes in England.
