How we organise children by ability in schools is often rooted in ableism.
Ability is so central to schooling—where we explicitly and continuously shape, assess, measure and report on students’ abilities—that ability-based decisions often appear logical and natural. However, how schools respond to ability results in very real, lifelong social and economic consequences. Special education and academic streaming (or tracking) are two of the most prominent ability-based strategies public schools use to organise student learning. Both have had a long and complicated relationship with gender, race and class.
In this down-to-earth guide, Dr. Gillian Parekh unpacks the realities of how ability and disability play out within schooling, including insights from students, teachers and administrators about the barriers faced by students on the basis of ability. From the challenges with ability testing to gifted programmes to the disability rights movement, Parekh shows how ableism is inextricably linked to other forms of bias. Her book is a powerful tool for educators committed to justice-seeking practices in schools.
