Abstract
The current study investigates how teachers' beliefs about racial inequity shape their evaluation of students' social-emotional competence (SEC) and externalizing behaviors. We hypothesize that teachers who hold individualistic or cultural deficit beliefs about racial inequity will evaluate non-white students' SEC skills lower than teachers holding schooling inequity beliefs.
