Abstract

In this discussion of the relationship between ethnic majority teachers and minority group students the following issues are addressed: (1) teacher expectations; (2) modes of conversation; (3) styles of communication; (4) teacher calling-on-student behavior; and (5) eye contact. A recommendation is that action be taken on these issues and that they be incorporated into teacher education programs. A 22-item bibliography is included. (JD)
