Do students at PLHS experience stereotype threat?

You have been reading about stereotype threats.  We will respond to that article by doing our own research about stereotypes on our campus.  Today you will interview two peers about the kinds of stereotypes they are affected by and how they cope with that.  (I will give you the interview questions in class.)

Tomorrow we will enter your findings into a Google Form and begin to analyze the data.
