- Abstract
Racial and ethnically incongruent teacher student pairings (i.e., African American teachers and Latino students) are common in U.S. urban schools, but most studies focus on White teachers' who teach students of color. In this mixed methods research study, 9 African American teachers' perceptions and attitudes toward their Latino students (n = 897) were examined using individual and focus group interviews, 2 teacher attitude scales, and analysis of Latino students' test scores. Content analysis revealed 7 crosscase themes related to African American teachers' perceptions of their Latino students: level of parental support; gender differences and biases; language barriers; nativity (country of origin); racially congruent student cultural processes; impact of the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status; and cultural stereotypes and biases. These results then were compared to the teachers' attitude scale results and Latino student test scores. Implications for African American teacher and Latino student incongruence are discussed based on the Teacher Racial Consciousness Duality Model that emerged from this research.
