The study focused on the long-term contributions of African American ethnic matching to mathematical test scores of 1,200 African American students from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Kindergarten &#8212; fifth data set. Employing a two-level growth model, this study of impact from student-teacher ethnic matching revealed that a student having at least one teacher who ethnically matched themselves between kindergarten and fifth grade had a significant impact on mathematics achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Full article can be found here:\u00a0http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/0042085911413149<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eddy, C.
