Keeping Track: How Schools Structure Inequality

Keeping Track: How Schools Structure Inequality

Selected by the American School Board Journal as a â‚¬Å“Must Readâ‚¬Â book when it was first published and named one of 60 â‚¬Å“Books of the Centuryâ‚¬Â by the University of South Carolina Museum of Education for its influence on American education, this provocative, carefully documented work shows how trackingâ‚¬â€¢the system of grouping students for instruction on the basis of abilityâ‚¬â€¢reflects the class and racial inequalities of American society and helps to perpetuate them. For this new edition, Jeannie Oakes has added a new Preface and a new final chapter in which she discusses the â‚¬Å“tracking warsâ‚¬Â of the last twenty years, wars in which Keeping Track has played a central role.

From reviews of the first edition:

â‚¬Å“[This] engaging [book] . . . has had an influence on educational thought and policy that few works of social science ever achieve.â‚¬Ââ‚¬â€¢Tom Loveless in The Tracking Wars
â‚¬Å“Should be read by teachers, administrators, school board members, and parents.â‚¬Ââ‚¬â€¢Georgia Lewis, Childhood Education
â‚¬Å“Valuable. . . . No one interested in the topic can afford not to attend to it.â‚¬Ââ‚¬â€¢Kenneth A. Strike, Teachers College Record
