Teacher Distance and Student Disengagement: School Lives on the Margin

State University of New York at Brockport

Data were collected across 2 years and revealed that teachers who were identified by the students as most successful in helping them learn used practices based on two types of teacher knowledge: knowledge about the home lives and cultural backgrounds of students and knowledge about the impact of young adolescents' developmental needs on learning.
