Definition
- Since 1900 and the influx of immigrant population and enrollment of immigrant children, ability grouping tracking is used to sort the students in U.S. public schools. Based on education acts and compulsory education laws, immigrant students have been placed into different ability groupings based on their academic performance, age, and language skills to scaffold their education and provide additional support; but later this grouping tracking turned into de facto tracking that segregated the students and put them into different career paths.
