== Students' views of teachers ==
Teachers are also affected by the children in the classroom. Teachers reflect what is projected into them by their students. An experiment done by Jenkins and Deno (1969) submitted teachers to a classroom of children who had either been told to be attentive, or inattentive, to the teachers' lecture. They found that teachers who were in the attentive condition would rate their teaching skills as higher.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1037/h0028495|title=Influence of student behavior on teacher's self-evaluation|journal=Journal of Educational Psychology|volume=60|issue=6, Pt.1|pages=439–442|year=1969|last1=Jenkins|first1=Joseph R.|last2=Deno|first2=Stanley L.}}</ref> Similar findings by Herrell (1971) suggested that when a teacher was preconditioned to classrooms as warm or cold, the teacher would start to gravitate towards their precondition.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED056331 |title=Galatea in the Classroom: Student Expectations Affect Teacher Behavior|author= Herrell, James M.|journal=Proceedings of the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association|date=April 1971|issue= 6(Pt. 2)|pages= 521–522}}</ref> To further this concept, Klein (1971) did the same kind of study involving teachers still unaware of any precondition to the classroom but with the class full of confederates who were instructed to act differently during periods over the course of the lecture. "Klein reported that there was little difference between students' behaviors in the natural and the positive conditions."<ref name="Good 1974 276–277">{{cite book|last=Good|first=Jere E.
