Teacher Perceptions, Test Scores, and Racial Disparities in the Classroom
研究了教师对学生成绩的种族评价差异，发现教师对黑人学生的评价高于同测试成绩的白人学生，可能与教师期望或测试偏差有关。
<h3>Abstract</h3> This study provides new insights on the expression of bias through disparate treatment of students by race. Specifically, I examine racial discrepancies in teachers’ evaluations of student achievement, conditional on standardized test achievement. After correcting for measurement error in standardized test scores, results indicate that teachers evaluate Black students as higher achieving than White students with the same standardized test performance. This finding contrasts with previous research on Black-White teacher assessment gaps outside of the US. These results are consistent with multiple potential mechanisms, such as teachers holding lower expectations for Black students or bias embedded in standardized tests.
