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 assigning weak or inexperienced teachers to lower tracks.
