Placing students with comparable achievement and skill levels in the same classes.

• A. Adaptive Behavior
• B. Ability Grouping
• C. AAC
• D. Bilingual Education

Answer: (B)

Ability grouping is about organizing students into classes based on similar achievement and skill levels so instruction can be tailored to what they already know and what they need to learn next. When students share a comparable level, the teacher can adjust pace, complexity, and supports to match that group, making lessons more accessible and ensuring the content is neither too easy nor too hard. For example, a math class might have one group working through foundational concepts while another tackles more advanced topics, with teachers providing targeted mini-lessons or practice for each group.

The other options point to different ideas: Adaptive behavior relates to daily functioning and independence skills, not how students are grouped by achievement. AAC stands for augmentative and alternative communication, which involves tools and strategies to help students communicate. Bilingual education focuses on instruction in two languages. None of these describe organizing students by comparable achievement levels.
