Episode notes
What does "grade level" really mean, and does it still make sense in today's classrooms?
Dr. Russell T. Warne sits down with Dr. Karen Rambo-Hernandez from Texas A&M University to discuss new research showing that millions of students perform above or below their assigned grade. They explore how COVID-19 changed achievement in math and reading, why classrooms can span five to seven grade levels of ability, and what teachers can do when the system itself is not designed for such diversity.
Should schools keep grouping students by age, or shift toward readiness and ability instead?
