Abstract
Educators, administrators, and staff in small-school Iowa find themselves working longer hours due to increasing demands. The normal 8-hour day has become a 10- to 12-hour day for many educators. These hard-working, value-driven educators are staggering with rising expectations: serving the load of students with multiple needs and problems, teaching an increasing number of subject areas, marking, evaluating, consulting, conferencing, examining, inservicing, supervising, directing, collaborating, individualizing, psychiatrizing, policizing, bureaucratizing, curriculumizing, meetingizing, report cardizing, and on-going professionalizing (Clamp 1992). Such obligations lead to decreasing quality family time, increasing job burn-out, and increasing health risks due to stress.
