From the Paper:

" It has been suggested and even stated as fact that the expectations a teacher has of students under their instruction effects the outcomes in terms of the achievement of the student. In the Title I Schools providing education to the minority student is required to adhere to certain standards of provision of education. Brophy (1983) works were inclusive of literature in relation to self-fulfilling prophecy effects and concluded that a minority of teachers hold expectations that effect the achievement of their students."
