41. High expectations are being recognized as key to the success of all students, especially those at risk. Traditional ability grouping of students often leads to diminished expectations and lower achievement levels for students who are placed in lower tracks. The traditional placement of first-grade students into three reading groups of high, middle, and low achievement "predicts future educational outcomes with alarming accuracy" By using heterogeneous grouping of students rather than ability grouping, teachers will no longer pace their instruction to the perceived ability level of the class. Instead, accelerated learning will meet the needs of students of varying abilities and interests. Prof Asa Hillard
