Early Schooling and Academic Achievement of African American Males (2003, background): “When these studies are published, they are usually focused on issues of socialization, attitudes, and peer relations without much linkage to achievement outcomes (Tyson, 2002).”
It's Not “a Black Thing”: Understanding the Burden of Acting White and Other Dilemmas of High Achievement (2005, background): “For example, as others have noted (Spencer 1984; Tyson 2002), race was not a salient category for the grade school children we interviewed.”
BLACK-WHITE DIFFERENCES IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION: EFFECT OF STUDENT BELIEFS ABOUT TEACHERS (2008, background): “Several theories suggest that African American students develop and take on oppositional school identities that lead to lowered levels of engagement, which in turn could affect punishment outcomes (Tyson, 2002 ).”
From Opposition to Engagement: Lessons from High Achieving African American Students (2008, background): “Americans attending suburban schools, there has been a preponderance of evidence challenging his thesis and pointing to institutional racism and structural inequality as the major reasons for underachievement (Hilliard, 2003; Tyson, 2002; Tyson, Darity, Castellino, & Domini, 2005).”
A Teacher Like Me: A Review of the Effect of Student–Teacher Racial/Ethnic Matching on Teacher Perceptions of Students and Student Academic and Behavioral Outcomes (2019, background): “…of underserved racial and ethnic minorities than White students (Alexander, Entwisle, & Thompson, 1987; Ferguson, 2003; Tenenbaum & Ruck, 2007; Tyson, 2002), perceptions that are linked to the inequitable allocation of classroom and school resources (Ferguson, 2003; Tenenbaum & Ruck, 2007).”
Researching “Black” Educational Experiences and Outcomes: Theoretical and Methodological Considerations (2007, background): “Despite exceptions (e.g., Carter, 2005; Tyson, 2002), this continued progression in researchers’ efforts to develop ever more complex renderings of culture in relation to race often stops short of escaping what Michaels (1992) refers to as the “anticipation of culture by race” (p. 677).”
From “Middle Class” to “Trailer Trash:” Teachers' Perceptions of White Students in a Predominately Minority School (2005, background): “The students’ academic behavior ranged from complete disengagement from classroom activities to active “ability shows” (Tyson 2002) to gain the teachers’ attention and demonstrate aptitude.”
“They Think Minority Means Lesser Than” (2013, background): “Relatively few studies have seriously examined the educational experiences of Black middle-class students in general (Allen, 2010b; Ascher & BranchSmith, 2005; Ferguson, 2001; Hemmings, 1996; Horvat & Antonio, 1999; Lareau & Horvat, 1999; Ogbu, 2003; Tyson, 2002).”
