Answer to Question 1

Four factors that researchers believe contribute to the achievement gap between low-SES minority and white students are
(1) living conditions (such as inadequate health care, small and overcrowded living quarters, stress of living in high crime neighborhoods)
(2) family environment (one-parent family, low support for education, cognitively impoverished communication between parent and child)
(3) characteristics of the student (such as lower need for achievement, belief that one doesn't need an education to get a good job, holding academic excellence in low regard)
(4) classroom environment (teacher provides academic and emotional support)

Answer to Question 2

Confronted by a misbehaving student, I might follow these guidelines:
a.Identify the misbehaver by name.
b. Specify a constructive behavior that should be substituted for the disruptive behavior.
c. Explain why the misbehavior should cease.
d. Focus on the misbehavior rather than casting aspersions on the personality of the student.
