10-second review: How should teachers deal with “untracked” classes? Authors challenge the belief that untracked classes (students of all ability levels) should engage in multi-ability small-group work. Teacher used whole-group instruction with much teacher attention to individual needs.

Comment: Worth a try. Whole-group instruction will require serious planning, effort, evaluation and willingness to revise procedures. But I still think the whole-group effort is worth trying. RayS.
