Ms. Kaplan is a new fourth grade teacher who feels passionate about helping students learn. She is teaching in a poverty-stricken area of Houston and knows that many of the students receive little academic support and encouragement at home. It's the fourth week of school, and she feels good about the way her class is progressing, learning routines, and meeting her expectations. Today she entered

They warned her that Michael would cause trouble, fail to complete his work, and distract other children.

After Ms. Kaplan's experience in the teacher's lounge, consider the possible dilemmas that might arise regarding her expectations of Michael. Describe common negative effects that might occur and explain how Ms. Kaplan might prevent such effects.
