Detracking+for+excellence+and+Equity

Your assignment to complete the final part of our book study is two-fold:

After reading the remaining chapters of the book please join our on-line discussion and respond to each of the four discussion prompts. Also, you will need to comment on at least two other posts in the discussion threads.

Discussion prompt #1 - Respond to the statement, "Teachers have to reflect more on their practice and change instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners. Traditional lectures and 'chalk and talk' simply will not work."

Discussion prompt #2 - How will you work with teachers who resist the idea of detracking and differentiating instruction on your campus?

Discussion prompt #3 - Think about the three P's described early in the book and again in chapter 8. Which one of the p's poses the biggest challenge at your campus, and how can you assist in the success of detracking?

Discussion prompt #4 - What sense does all of the information from the book make to you? As a teacher leader what do you plan to do to move your team/department forward with detracking?
