Teacher Expectations as a Political Issue in Rural Alaska Schools.
Kleinfeld, Judith; McDiarmid, G. Williamson
Research in Rural Education, v4 n1 p9-12 Fall 1986
In a survey of 304 teachers selected randomly from Alaska's rural schools, significantly fewer teachers in Native communities thought students would attend or graduate from college or could achieve at or above national norms. Many Native leaders view these attitudes as evidence that prejudiced attitudes create school failure among Native children. (JHZ)
