A new look at how even the best of teacherswomen andmen often treat male and female students differently, inways that limit women's full participation in the classroom.

en and women, sitting side by side in the classroom, often have very different experiences, because faculty members may unwittingly treat them differently. Senior author Bernice Sandler notes that, "Women as well as men may often treat women in ways that not only discourage their classroom participation but also lessen their self-esteem and vocational aspirations " Just how are women being treated differently? Teachers can inhibit women's full participation by such behaviors as: Doubting women's accomplishments, for example, attributing their achieve- ments to "luck" or "affirmative action" but men's to "talent" or "ability Responding more extensively to men ;s in =class comments with praise, criticism or coaching but to women's witIvIUhuh."
