Former UW TEP student Jesse Hagopian is a public high school teacher in Seattle and has been very involved in the national conversation about standardized testing. In January 2013, teachers at Seattle’s Garfield High School unanimously voted to stop administering a widely used standardized test, the MAP test, saying that the test is deeply flawed and is unfairly used to grade student performance. As the number of educators boycotting this test increases, Hagopian has been speaking with bloggers, journalists, and, most recently, CNN ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ.

Nancy Hertzog had one heck of a first day teaching elementary school: one of her students pulled the fire alarm and then vanished -- later he was found hitchhiking by the assistant superintendent -- as fire and police forces descended on the school. It was 1977, in Williamsburg, Va. Hertzog, now the new director of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ's Robinson Center for Young Scholars, was a new teacher in a public school that had integrated black and white students in the late 1960s, well after the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled against separate schools for black and white children.
