Predictors of High School Academic Course Offerings
Relationships between high school structural characteristics and curricular offerings are examined in this study using survey data from High School and Beyond. Emphasis is placed on the role played by high school size. The study’s central thesis is that the effects of school size on the curriculum will vary depending on subject area, the character of the course being offered (e.g., advanced versus remedial), and the setting in which the school is…
Pupil Race and Elementary School Ability Grouping
This study investigates the claim that pupil race affects the reading grouping decisions of elementary school teachers, causing black children to be overrepresented in lower ability groups. Analyses were carried out of teachers’ remarks made while engaged in the process of grouping children, and of the racial composition of the groups they actually formed. Taken together, these analyses failed to uncover evidence of conscious or unconscious racia…
Tracking, Ability, and SES
This paper is concerned with certain criticisms commonly leveled at the practice of high school tracking. Specifically, we are interested in knowing whether students are actually assigned to the tracks they select for themselves, whether low-SES pupils are more likely to be "cooled out" of choosing a college track, and whether the net effect of the tracking procedure is to increase the relationship between SES and track placement. We found little…

Does Socioeconomic Status Bias the Assignment of Elementary School Students to Reading Groups
This study examined the standardized reading test scores, family socioeconomic status (SES), and teacher-assigned reading groups of pupils in 37 midelementary classrooms from four school districts. The analysis assessed: (1) the relative relationship of SES and reading test measurements with assignments to reading groups; (2) the relative degree of socioeconomic segregation resulting from grouping based on teacher judgments and reading tests; (3)…
The Effects of Changing Social Contexts
Pupil Influence in Teacher Socialization
A model of teacher socialization is proposed in which pupils shape a teacher's behavior through an operant conditioning mechanism postulated to operate in the classroom. To test this model, certain linguistic effects are hypothesized to result from filling a teaching role. Specifically, it was hypothesized that primary teachers, and experienced elementary teachers, would evidence decreased speech complexity in their adult interactions. These hypo…
