Ability Grouping - Tabor City School's Stop
Toward Education On An Individual Lovel
» Going »Ion« with the na
tional trend toward attempt

on an individual level, tw>
major steps have been taken in
the seventh and eighth erode?

For the first time in the
school's history, these junior
high student* are changing
changing classes, much as their
hi»· brothers and sisters do in
, high school, and arc grouped

individual abilities in each
subject.
Hand.dl Huilc-on pntiri
