Two primary lines of investigation are involved in this
study of elementary school teacher effectiveness. The
first focuses on individual differences in students and
how these affect teacher expectations, attitudes, and
behavior, and the process involved in the formation and
change of expectations and attitudes. The overwhelming
conclusion that the data supports is that the vast
majority of teacher perceptions are accurate and based on
student behavior. In those rare cases where persistently
incorrect and dysfunctional perceptions are formed, the
problem can be solved by building a data base to create
understanding and awareness of how these problems
develop. The second line of investigation focuses on the
question of teacher effectiveness, particularly in
producing student learning gains. The results of the
analyses indicate that relative differences in teacher
effectiveness were statistically significant and
reaffirmed the feasibility of identifying highly
consistent teachers and studying them to seek
associations between classroom process variables and
student outcomes. In studying the correlates of teaching
effectiveness, one basic finding was that, for many
variables, teacher behavior optimal for producing student
learning gains in low socioeconomic status (SES) schools
was different from teacher behavior optimal for producing
learning gains in high SES schools. (JMF)
