In the First International Mathematics Study, Husén (1967b) showed that cross-national achievement differences were related to the proportion of students remaining, or retained, in the educational system. In addition, in countries retaining a high proportion of students in school, the more able students fared better than in countries retaining few students. For data gathered in 1981–1982 for the Second International Mathematics Study, the retention rates of countries accounted for some achievement differences, but achievement differences for the more able students across countries were not related to the rate at which countries retained students. Instead, variables such as opportunity to learn were needed to explain these differences.

Tracking, that is, assigning students to homogeneous groups for educational purposes, is a topic of considerable study and heated debate for the educational research community (Dossey 2000; Edwards 1999; Harlen 2000; Loveless 1998). In his metanalysis of research on tracking, Kulik (1992) identified more than 700 studies. Rarely, however, has this research been informed by cross-national comparisons. This NSF-funded study is providing a cross-national perspective on tracking practices in mathematics as they relate to opportunity to learn and achievement. The study is using data from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS 1995 in Beaton et al. 1996) and TIMSSRepeat (TIMSS 1999, in Mullis et al. 2000).

Therapeutic Encounter

Background Speech-language pathologists make clinical decisions informed by evidence-based theory and “beliefs, values and emotional experiences” ( Hinckley, 2005 , p. 265). These subjective processes, while not extensively studied, underlie the workings of the therapeutic relationship and contribute to treatment outcomes. While speech-language pathologists do not routinely pay attention to subjective experiences of the therapeutic encounter, social workers do. Thus, the field of social work makes an invaluable contribution to the knowledge and skills of speech-language pathologists. Purpose This clinical focus article focuses on the clinician's contribution to the therapeutic relationship by surfacing elements of the underlying subjective processes. Method Vignettes were gathered from clinicians in two community aphasia programs informed by the principles of the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia. Results and Discussion By reflecting on and sharing aspects of clinical encounters, clinicians reveal subjective processing occurring beneath the surface. The vignettes shed light on the following clinical behaviors: listening to the client's “whole self,” having considerations around self-disclosure, dealing with biases, recognizing and surfacing clients' identities, and fostering hope. Speech-language pathologists are given little instruction on the importance of the therapeutic relationship, how to conceptualize this relationship, and how to balance this relationship with professionalism. Interprofessional collaboration with social workers provides a rich opportunity to learn ways to form and utilize the benefits of a strong therapeutic relationship while maintaining high standards of ethical behavior. Conclusion This clinical focus article provides speech-language pathologists with the “nuts and bolts” for considering elements of the therapeutic relationship. This is an area that is gaining traction in the field of speech-language pathology and warrants further investigation.
