Title: Teacher Bias and Its Impact on Teacher-Student Relationships: The Example of Favoritism
Description: It is easy to list out a set of ideals related to what students and school staff would like their experiences in the classroom and school-wide to be. Such a list encompasses being welcome, safe, included, respected, cared for, guided and supported in learning, and treated fairly. These qualitative features are seen as enabling openness, trust, engagement, participation, and enhancing the “fit” for effective learning and positive growth. Pursuing these ideals in an equitable manner
requires that teachers develop effective working relationships with all their students.Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/teacherbias.pdf
