This study explored teachers' (N = 717) expectations of student behavior along school
level (elementary vs. middle vs. high), pro-am type (general vs. special education), and school type
(high risk vs. low risk). Results indicated that all elementary and middle school teachers shared
similar views regarding the importance of self-control skills, whereas high school special education
teachers viewed self-control skills as significantly more important than did high school general education
teachers. High school teachers rated assertion skills as significantly less important relative to
elementary or middle school teachers. Results also indicated that teachers at high-risk schools
viewed self-control and assertion skills as more critical for success than did teachers at low-risk
schools.
