McGrew, Kevin S.; Evans, Jeffrey
National Center on Educational Outcomes, University of Minnesota
This report addresses these questions, and includes an analysis of nationally representative cognitive and achievement data to illustrate the dangers in making blanket assumptions about appropriate achievement expectations for individuals based on their cognitive ability or diagnostic label. In addition, a review of research on the achievement patterns of students with cognitive disabilities and literature on the effects of teacher expectations is included. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
