The Impact of Teacher Perception of Cultural Competence on the Instructional Decision Making of English As Second Language (ESL) Students

High School English Language Arts Teachers and Postsecondary Outcomes for Students with and without Disabilities. Working Paper No. 199-0718-1.
Abstract: We used longitudinal data on high school students in Washington State to assess the relationships between English Language Arts (ELA) teacher qualifications and the high school and postsecondary outcomes of their students, and whether these relationships differed for students with and without disabilities. We found that students assigned to 10th-grade ELA teachers with higher value added had better test scores, were more likely to graduate on-time, and were more likely to attend and graduate from a 4-year college than observably similar students assigned to 10th-grade ELA teachers with lower value added. We also found that many of these relationships varied for students with and without disabilities, as 10th-grade ELA teacher value added was more positively predictive of on-time graduation and 4-year college attendance for students without disabilities, but more positively predictive of 2-year college attendance and employment within 2 years of graduation for students with disabilities.
K-12 Teachers' Perceptions of the TESA Program and its Impact on Teacher-Student Relationships
TL;DR: Howard et al. as discussed by the authors explored the classroom experiences and perceptions of 10 teachers who integrated teaching interactions from the Teacher Expectation and Student Achievement (TESA) professional development program into their daily lessons and found that TESA PD assisted these 10 teachers in how to build relationships with their students; how relationship building impacted teacher-student relationships; and how teacher expectations of students, regardless of students' achievement level and diverse backgrounds, impacted student academic performance.
