teacher expectations
Educator anticipations for students
Teacher expectations are the beliefs educators hold about what students can achieve academically and behaviorally.
Research shows these expectations often become self-fulfilling: students tend to perform according to how teachers perceive their potential.
High teacher expectations correlate with better student outcomes.
The concept is central to discussions of educational equity, since expectations can be influenced by race, class, or prior performance data.
