We Must Offer Equal Access to Knowledge.
Goodlad, John I.; Oakes, Jeannie
Educational Leadership, v45 n5 p16-22 Feb 1988

Explores misconceptions about learning and individual differences, condemns grouping and tracking processes for restricting students' access to knowledge, and suggests alternative pedagogical strategies. Includes 10 references. (MLH)
