SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT

The authors study 29 teachers in grades 7 and 8 from four school districts to determine how effectively those teachers are handling education reform efforts. Innovations such as integrated curriculum, common learning standards, and alternative assessments require more emotional demands and major investments of time and support.
