Why It Matters: Teachers often calibrate their expectations differently based how they perceive students, and
students detect and respond to those expectations accordingly, whether they are high or low (Rosenthal & Jacobs, 1968).
Successful teachers, however, work to foster high expectations for all their students (Marzano, 2010). They do this because
it is “through relationships that convey high expectations [that] students learn to believe in themselves and in their futures,
developing the critical resilience of self-esteem, self-efficacy, autonomy, and optimism” (Benard, 1995, p.3).
