Ms. Burns is a fifth-grade teacher in an urban, midwestern city. She has been teaching for eight years at Edgewood Elementary and is very concerned about the changes in students that she has observed over the years. Ms. Burns has 31 students in her class this year. Approximately 50% of her students live in poverty, 75% live in single-parent homes, and many of her students need one-on-one attention from an adult. Eight of her students receive special education services, and she has one student who is HIV positive. In addition, she has two computers in her classroom and is expected to integrate technology into her curriculum, and she doesn't feel very comfortable with her skills in this area. Ms. Burns arrives at school at 7:00 every morning and does not return home until after 6:00 each evening because of the demands and needs of her students. She is feeling very stressed about her teaching and the lives of her students.
