Synopsis
When first published in 1968 (later updated in 1992) this book was received with almost universal acclaim for its ground breaking research. The "Pygmalion phenomenom" is the self-fulfilling prophecy embedded in teachers expectations. Simply put, when teachers expect students to do well and show intellectual growth, they do, but when teachers do not have such expectations, performance and growth are not as encouraged and may in fact be discouraged in a number of ways. A classic volume available once again.
