Black children and adolescents in today’s society face so many challenges that come about from the hands of authority figures in their life, their environment, the education system, and society as a whole. Through a critical review of literature, the author sought to answer three research questions: (1) What are the indications that teachers may be more biased toward Black students? (2) How do perceived teacher biases and discrimination impact the self-esteem and self-efficacy of Black students? (3) How are teacher bias and the school-to-prison pipeline connected? The literature review exposed a need for a teacher training model, which was developed and presented as a response to revealed need.

Objectives:

  • Acknowledge and identify indications that teachers may be more biased towards Black students?
  • Explore how perceived teacher biases and discrimination impact the self-esteem and self-efficacy of Black students?
  • Reflect on how teacher bias and the school to prison pipeline connected?
