– Education and the Teacher-Expectancy Effect: Discuss what the teacher-expectancy effect is and how it relates to labeling theory, the self-fulfilling prophecy, and ability tracking. Also, incorporate experiences, either personal or of others, on how this effect has affected you or them personally, either from a positive (honors,
