Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Researchers have tried to explain teachers� negative perception of black students by examining the match between the teachers and students� race. This research hypothesizes that teachers will have negative perceptions of students when there is mismatch between the social origins of teacher and student (Alexander, Entwisle, and Thompson 1987). In racial and class terms, this means that we would expect white, middle-class teachers to have negative perceptions of poor black, students. While this research helps explain teachers� perceptions of black students, it does not help us understand teachers� perceptions of other racial minorities such as Latinos and Asians. In addition, this racial mismatch hypothesis does not explain why teachers might have positive perceptions of students who are different from themselves. In this paper, I argue that teachers� racial and ethnic beliefs affect teachers� perception of students. I propose a model where teachers� race interacts with their beliefs to influence their perception of students. Examining teachers� racial and ethnic beliefs along with their racial status allows us to understand the process by which teachers attach meaning to their students� race. In addition, I argue that teachers� racial and ethnic beliefs are influenced by ideologies that shape their perception of students. Due to these ideologies, I argue that a racial mismatch can lead teachers to have a positive instead of negative perception of racial minorities under certain circumstances. Using a sample of interviews with teachers and administrators at nine Chicago schools, I explore faculty�s evaluative comments about students of different races.
