This qualitative study examines the factors that African American teachers may take into account when framing expectations and perceptions of socioeconomically disadvantaged, African American urban school students. These factors include race, culture, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. This study also explores the influence of an educator's racial or cultural background on the implementation of research-based instructional practices that are effective for African American adolescents.

520 $a This qualitative study examines the factors that African American teachers may take into account when framing expectations and perceptions of socioeconomically disadvantaged, African American urban school students. These factors include race, culture, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. This study also explores the influence of an educator's racial or cultural background on the implementation of research-based instructional practices that are effective for African American adolescents.
520 $a One essential question guides this qualitative study: What factors influence African American teachers' pedagogical practices, expectations and perceptions of African American students in an urban school? Important secondary questions include: (1) In what ways does racial identity shape African American teachers' pedagogical practices with African American students? (2) Do African American educators endorse and/or implement research-based instruction proven to contribute to the academic success of African American students? (3) How are African American teachers' expectations around student achievement socially constructed? (4) In what ways do African American educators acknowledge the extent to which their experiences, educational and otherwise, frame their expectations and perceptions?
520 $a Data for this study was collected via semi-structured teacher interviews, focus group discussions, classroom observations, and analysis of curriculum, lesson plans, and various teaching materials. Teacher interviews were the principal source of data, complemented with transcribed audiotapes of focus group discussions and classroom events. The data for this study was examined through critical race and racial identity theory frameworks.
520 $a This study proposes that classrooms with students and teachers that are racially congruent are subject to similar concerns in a classroom with racial differences. Furthermore, this study also finds that teachers who consistently reflect upon their students' educational and out-of-school experiences increase their effectiveness with students that are predisposed to failure. Therefore, it is found that the presence of African American teachers who socially construct their perceptions of students while maintaining high expectations are integral to the success of socioeconomically disadvantaged African American students in urban schools. However, non-African American teachers that utilize culturally relevant pedagogy can be effective as well. The findings have implications for teachers' pedagogical practices as well as curriculum development, professional development, and teacher recruitment for educational leaders.
