w*p 发帖数: 16484 | 1 Suspensions and expulsions at American preschools are doled out
disproportionately to black students, boys, and especially black boys – a
phenomenon that could be due, in part, to implicit racial biases on the part
of their teachers, according to a Yale University study released this week.
Researchers used eye-tracking technology to observe preschool teachers look
for "challenging behaviors" in a series of videos portraying four children
in typical classroom settings. While none of the children were misbehaving,
participants spent significantly longer looking at the black children,
especially boys.
"The tendency to base classroom observation on the gender and race of the
child may explain in part why those children are more frequently identified
as misbehaving and hence why there is a racial disparity in discipline,"
Walter Gilliam, one of five researchers on the project said in a written
statement.

The latest US Department of Education report shows that black preschoolers
are 3.6-times as likely as their white peers to receive school suspensions,
Stacy Teicher Khadaroo reported for The Christian Science Monitor earlier
this month, highlighting teachers' need for additional support.
While black children accounted for 19 percent of all preschool children in
the 2013-2014 academic year, they made up 47 percent of those who received
suspensions, as The Washington Post reported.
In addition to the eye-tracking portion of the study, researchers presented
participants with a short written scenario with one of four names to imply
the race and gender of a hypothetical child: Latoya, Emily, DeShawn, or Jake
. The scenario described challenging classroom behavior, then summarized the
child's "turbulent" home life.
The findings suggest white educators tended to expect problematic behavior
from black preschoolers, according to the report. "These potentially lower
expectations held for children based on race can have detrimental
consequences over time, with low expectations, particularly for minority
children, being linked to less favorable outcomes," the researchers wrote.
Black educators, meanwhile, tended to have higher expectations for black
children and rate challenging behavior as more severe.
Furthermore, participants showed greater empathy for the child's difficulty
at home when the child's race matched their own.
"These findings suggest that teachers need support in understanding family
struggles, as they may [be] related to child behaviors, especially when the
teacher and child are of different races,” Dr. Gilliam, an associate
professor of child psychiatry and psychology at the Yale Child Study Center,
added.
Linda K. Smith, deputy assistant secretary for early childhood development
at the US Department of Health and Human Services Administration for
Children and Families, said the study is important, given its social
implications.
"It's something probably we all didn't want to hear, but we needed to know,"
Ms. Smith said, as The Washington Post reported.
Solutions, according to the researchers, could include additional teacher
training and guidance on implicit racial biases.
Jason Okonofua, who completed a Stanford University study last year that
predicts black students will be punished more harshly due to implicit biases
, said teachers must see themselves as capable of growing.
"Try not to think of yourself as a fixed character in the same way that you
should not try to think of your students as fixed characters," Dr. Okonofua
said, as the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California,
Berkeley reported. "Rather, think of yourself as a growing person who needs
to put in effort and practice to contend with influences of stereotypes." | w*p 发帖数: 16484 | 2 Hawki8 hours ago
As a recently retired elementary teacher (33 years), I don't buy this one
bit. Preschool teachers are some of the kindest, most caring people you will
ever meet. Who else could handle that job? The truth is that black boys
tend to behave the worst of any group - it's just a fact. Add on 10-20 years
and look at which group in America is most likely to commit violent crimes.
That would be young, black men. Everything nowadays seems to be aimed at
blaming "racism", whereas the emphasis should focus on personal
responsibility. Parents (in this case, single mothers), teach your children
how to behave, listen to adults, do as told, and strive for success in life.
