Teacher expectations have been found to be systematically biased toward different groups of students based on socioeconomic background, country of origin, gender, or disability status.
“Furthermore, since teacher expectations have been found to be systematically biased toward different groups of students (based on student socioeconomic background, country of origin, gender, or disability status; e.g., Lorenz et al., 2016; Shifrer, 2016), the observed expectancy effects might contribute to educational inequalities.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
