Specifically, teacher ratings can appreciably influence the identification of academically talented students and their subsequent enrollment in honors coursework. Previous research has investigated teacher ratings of students at the elementary and middle school levels. This study evaluates teacher ratings and recommendations of students for honors coursework at the high school level, specifically in relation to race/ethnicity. An analysis of data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 suggests that teacher recommendations of students for honors coursework in addition to being influenced by actual student behaviors are influenced by student race/ethnicity. These findings suggest that teachers differentially recommend academically talented students for honors classes by student race/ethnicity, a potential barrier to recruiting minority students into honors coursework at the secondary level. 2009-04-27 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1240537263 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1240537263 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
