This study examines teachers' emotions within minority primary schools. While previous research on teachers' emotions frames them as narratively constructed and shaped by ideological forces, it often overlooks the unique impact of minority school contexts.

However, even in cases where a student has the academic skills to succeed, educational environments may not support students across all other domains necessary for education success, including social and communication needs.

Teacher evaluation systems and their associated incentives have produced fairly mixed results. Our analyses are motivated by theory and descriptive evidence that accountability systems are highly racialized, and that individuals are less likely to respond to incentives when they have low expectations of success (and vice versa). Using a regression…

Identification of subgroups of youth who differ in their involvement in peer aggression and victimization has received considerable attention in the literature. Most prior studies have identified subgroups based on self- or peer reports, used cutoff scores rather than empirical approaches, and focused on elementary school students despite evidence…
