What is the meaning of "pull-out" in this sentence? I can't figure out the exact meaning even though I looked up the dictionary.

Schools that have adopted pull-out, team teaching, or block scheduling practices will only inaccurately be able to isolate individual teacher “effects” for evaluation, pay, or disciplinary purposes.

    A dictionary is not always the best resource you have at your disposal to look things up. Googling pull-out in education lead me to a number of sites with ready explanations.

"Pull-Out" programs remove students from mainstream classrooms for a portion of the day in order to give them specialized instruction in particular areas - ESL, for example, or advanced areas of study for gifted students.

Pull-outs (also called "send-out" or "resource" programs) are an educational approach in which students are removed (or "pulled-out") from a heterogeneous (mixed-ability) classroom to spend a portion of their time with small groups of peers. Pull-outs tend to meet one to two hours per week.
