Recenzje

“This handbook brings together the best to outline their research, discuss the links between the three big topics of gender, stereotype threat, and expectations, and provide directions for moving forward. The handbook is voluminous, rich in explanation, up-to-date in asking the right questions, vast in depth, and evidence-informed.”

John Hattie, Melbourne Laureate Professor Emeritus, Melbourne Graduate School of Education Chair, Board of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership.

 

“Researchers and practitioners have been gifted with a comprehensive and thought-provoking volume that examines three of the most important, timely, and challenging topics confronting contemporary education. This book should be on the “must-read” list for every educational researcher, aspiring or practicing teacher, or concerned citizen who wants to understand how teachers’ beliefs about gender, stereotype threats, and their expectations of students shape the learning environment for better or for worse.”

Patricia Alexander, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland College Park.
