Schools look to boost achievement with departmentalization
The pressure for schools to post higher scores on standardized subject tests is resulting in a growing push to departmentalize -- or platoon -- instruction for students as young as 6. The practice of having students change classes to receive instruction from subject specialists is typical in middle school and high school. Students in elementary school are typically taught by generalists under the assumption that they benefit more from the stability of staying in one classroom.
