STUDENT/TEACHERResearch on the Effects of Teacher
Expectancies Teacher expectancy has an effect in
shaping students behavior.
Studies have shown that when mother and teacher have high expectations, students have positive achievements. (vice versa)
Teacher expectations are more likely to be maintained in well-established behaviors.
![Page 5: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Factors that help Create Expectancies
Social class – Expect higher grades from Middle SES
Ethnic Background – Expect higher achievement from Asians and Whites
Achievement – Praise higher achieving students more often
![Page 6: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Teacher Expectancies Factors continued...
Attractiveness – Good looking students are perceived to be brighter, social, and more capable
Gender – Girls behavior is more often approved than boys

GENDER BIAS a preference or prejudice toward one
gender over the other whether it is conscious or unconscious
![Page 9: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
GENDERMALE VS. FEMALE
Boys enjoy taking risks and are impressed by other boys who do as well
Girls are willing to take risks, but are less likely to seek out risk-taking behavior
If a boy takes his skateboard over a dangerous jump, other boys think it is awesome, but girls are more likely to ask, “Why would he want to do that?” If a girl did the same behavior, the girls who heard about it would react, “That is crazy, why would she do that?”
![Page 10: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GENDER CONT. In the classroom, girls are more likely to do their
homework, even if the assignment doesn’t interest them, because they want the teacher to like them.
According to Dr. Sax, “ignoring gender differences does not break down gender stereotypes; ironically, neglecting hardwired gender differences more often results in a reinforcement of gender stereotypes.”

GENDER EQUALITY IN THE CLASSROOM
Learn to divide your attention among all students equally
Emphasize the importance of math and science

Race/Ethnicity The redefinition of America as a multi- cultural society
The U.S is becoming more culturally diverse because of:Changes in immigration Natural change in population 66,089,431 total of immigrants since 1820-
2000 the most documented were btw. the years 1990-2000 at 9,095,417 immigrants
Current Population Survey includes detailed statistics about age and sex of the Hispanic population o the black populationo Asian population o wide range of demographic characteristics about the U.S. labor forceo such as marital statuso educational attainmento Nativityo employment status
occupationo Povertyo housing tenure.

Identity Statuses and Predominate Features
Autonomy seeks out values of diversity believes that everyone has something to offer and something to learn.
Immersion/ Emersion growing awareness of a non racist atmosphere produces positive learning outcomes focuses on creating a non- racist identity.
Contact oblivious to color, race , and ethnicity Information processing strategy
![Page 18: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cooperative Learning Multi-cultural program that helps
students understand ethnically diverse cultures
The students are responsible for learning what is taught as well as helping teammates learn . Students work through the assignment until all group members successfully understand
![Page 19: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cooperative Learning cont. teaching strategies where each student
is placed in a team with other students with different levels of ability
produces a group effort focused on mutual goal. In the end all students are successful.

SPECIAL EDUCATIONTHE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
ACT(IDEA) Act gives children with disabilities the right to be provided with any modifications needed for them to participate in state and district wide assessments. Opportunities for parents to be a part of the child’s education, and provides them with training and materials to help their child’s success. Most important purpose of act is that all individuals with a disability, regardless of the severity, from birth through 21 yrs. receive special education and services needed to achieve their educational needs. Before a child can be placed in a special education program he/she must be given a complete, valid and appropriate evaluation.
![Page 23: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DISABILITIES UNDER IDEA Autism- Difficulty in verbal and nonverbal
communication, and social interaction that affects learning.
Deaf-blindness- impairments of both hearing and vision.
Mental retardation- significant sub average general intellectual functioning accompanied by social behavior.
Multiple disabilities- two or more impairments that cause severe educational problems.
Orthopedic impairments- disability of a child that does not allow him/her to use arms, legs, hands, or feet that significantly affect their education.
Other health impairments- such as asthma, sickle cell anemia, epilepsy, heart disease, and diabetes that limit the strength, vitality, or alertness of a child that educational performance is affected.
![Page 24: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DISSABILITIES UNDER IDEA CONT.
Emotional disturbance- extreme personal and social problems shown over a period of time that affect a child’s ability to learn and get along with others around them.
Specific learning disability- a disorder of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using language that leads to learning problems, but is related to any other disability.
Speech or language impairment- a communication disorder such as stuttering, impaired articulation, or language impairment that affect performance.
Traumatic brain injury- a brain injury due to an accident that caused cognitive or psychosocial impairments.
Visual impairment- visual problem so severe that even with glasses educational performance is still affected.
![Page 25: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD)-
Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD)- is a neurobehavioral disorder that affects 3-5 percent of all American children.
Inability to stay on a task and to take in age-
appropriate materials both cognitive and behavioral.
Signs includes some combination of problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Also low self-esteem and poor educational performance.
ADHD is considered a specific learning disability.
![Page 26: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
OTHER LEARNING DISSABILITIES
Emotional disturbance- A condition in which inappropriate aggressive or withdrawal behaviors are exhibited.
Characteristics- poor relationships with teachers and peers, depression, fears, restless, and negativism.
Over a long period of time these characteristics affect the child’s learning ability.
![Page 27: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

ABILITY GROUPING Assumes intelligence is inherited,
reflected in IQ, and unchangeable and that instruction will be superior
Standardized mental ability or achievement tests are performed to view which students have similar learning abilities and then they are grouped with each other.
![Page 29: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
TYPES OF ABILITY GROUPS1. Between-Class Ability Grouping2. Regrouping3. Joplin Plan4. Within-Class Ability Grouping
![Page 30: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
BETWEEN-CLASS ABILITY GROUPING
Students are placed in three levels of classes by their similar abilities which are High, Average, and Low. Each group has little or no contact with students in other groups.
There is little to no research to agree or disagree whether this grouping really works.
![Page 31: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
REGROUPING Students from different classrooms who
are the same age, are in the same grade, and are labeled with the same ability come together to receive instruction on a specific subject.
Research for the effect this grouping provides has shown to be inconclusive.
![Page 32: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
JOPLIN PLAN Students from different grade levels who
have equivalent scores in Reading and Math.
This grouping works because it provides positive effects compared with instruction in heterogeneous classes.
![Page 33: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
WITHIN-CLASS ABILITY GROUPING
Students are divided into two or three groups within the class for Reading and Math instruction.
This grouping produces positive results compared to other instructional approaches.
This grouping has shown to be more effective than others.
![Page 34: DIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816697550346895dda7f4d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

ARGUMENT As future teachers we are going to
encounter diversity in our classrooms. We know that we cannot discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, etc. After our observations and research we realize that discrimination still occurs in the classroom among students and teachers. Therefore, our mission is to provide all of our students with an equal education, without regard of whom they are or where they come from.
