McCardle: Tracking as a Method for Maintaining Racial Segregation A Critical Historical Examination of Tracking as a Method for Maintaining Racial Segregation Todd McCardle Introduction The past and present are in constant dialogue with each other. In order to understand fully contemporary structures, it can prove valuable to trace the historical roots of how such institutions were implemented and how they have evolved over time. Tracking, or the organization of students for instruction into different academic paths, is one such structure with a troubled history that continues to segregate students along curricular and racial lines in American public schools. Through written and oral accounts (Anderson 1988; Baker 2001; Burkholder 2011; Loveless 1998; Rury 2012), historians have illustrated how educational tracks have harmed students of color, altering their career aspirations and academic achievement since Spanish and British colonists created formal schools in the New World.
