This book offers a comprehensive examination of how school leaders can
institute detracking in their school with research-based best
practices. Since the 1980s, researchers and educators have called for
detracking as an alternative to the common practice of seperating
students into classes by supposed achievement levels. In its most
basic form, detracking places students in the same classroom
regardless of perceived previous achievement. In this book, Thornton
focuses on four high-quality detracking programs across the US to
provide a roadmap of best practices for school leaders. Focusing on
schools in diverse suburban and urban areas, this book will be
beneficial to a wide variety of school leaders as well as school
leadership researchers. With the effects of the pandemic still felt in
schools and the heated debates at school boards across the country,
leaders and researchers both need a path forward for equity-focused
work. This book helps to provide way finders on that path whilealso
speaking to the need to travel the path in the first place.
