This document provides a justification for the WWRSD's multi-year plan to restructure Grade 8 honors classes, specifically eliminating honors labels for English, Social Studies, and World Language, while retaining accelerated math. Key reasons for this change include addressing enrollment discrepancies, refining assessment criteria, reducing attrition to Grade 9 honors, and aligning with research advocating for within-class ability grouping. The plan aims to deliver honors-level curriculum within regular classes, ensuring challenging experiences and promoting success in Grade 9 honors courses.
