Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper I attempt to understand the relationships between teacher expectations; race and ethnicity; and inter-ethnic interactions within schools. Through a review of interviews with West Indian, African American, and white teachers at a high school in Brooklyn, New York with a large West Indian population, I discuss the complicated nature of teacher-student matching, and its impact on achievement. I have found that West Indian teachers have strong points of connection with their West Indian students, and clearly serve as their advocates when cultural differences such as parental nonparticipation, lack of discipline, and avoidance of eye contact come up. Non-West Indian teachers, however, also find ways to connect with West Indian students. White teachers draw upon the common experience of immigration, and African American teachers draw upon common experiences of race prejudice and American race relations. The downside of strong identification with one group of students—in this case, West Indians—can sometimes lead to a distancing from others—in this case, African Americans. West Indian teachers usually identified strongly as West Indian, sometimes in opposition to African Americans. Hence, although recruiting teachers of color to serve our increasingly diverse school population is important, teacher training must also spend time on diversity training and developing intercultural understandings.
