Answer to Question 1

Suggested Response:
Based on statistical findings, Stephanie is most likely to receive the least amount of attention from the teacher, and Tanner is most likely to receive the most attention.Some boys, generally high-achieving White students, receive more than their share of teacher attention, whereas high-achieving girls receive the least teacher attention.
To prevent this type of biased behavior, teachers can monitor their practices in the classroom. For example, a teacher might use a systematic approach for calling on students the same number of times. Avoid calling on one sex more than the other, one race or ethnic group more than others, or one academic level more than others. Highlight role models of both sexes in all subject areas and use gender-free language as much as possible. Teachers can rotate class and group roles and assignments to ensure that everyone gets to do every type of role and task.
