The role of teachers' expectations in the association between children's SES and performance in kindergarten: a moderated mediation analysis.

This study examines the role of teachers' expectations in the association between children's socio-economic background and achievement outcomes. Furthermore, the role of children's ethnicity in moderating this mediated relation is investigated. In the present study, 3,948 children fro...
