A "must-read" for school administrators

First published in 1968, updated in 1992, Pygmalion In The Classroom: Teacher Expectation And Pupils' Intellectual Development is the collaborative effort of Robert Rosentha and Lenore Jacobson to take a close look at the "Pygmalion phenomenon", that is, the self-fulfilling prophecy in teachers' expectations of their students. Closely looking at how prejudices can shape a child's own self-esteem and learning environment, Pygmalion In The Classroom is a "must-read" for school administrators, classroom teachers, home schoolers, and anyone else who is keenly interested in the education of future generations.
