DESCRIPTION:'A learning profile is the relationship between some measure o
 f capability and grade attainment.  Most learning assessments allow us to 
 compare differences in learning across children of the same grade (or age)
 .  New approaches and use of existing data are producing more descriptive 
 learning profiles that show the relationship between the ability to read a
  sentence (e.g. DHS) or do certain arithmetic operations (e.g. ASER) acros
 s people with different levels of grade attainment.  We are learning that 
 many (thought not all) of these profiles are amazing flat:  there is littl
 e difference in capability across grade levels.  What do these findings su
 ggest about learning?  About the typical age-grade structure of classroom 
 instruction?  About equity in learning?
