Oregon Teacher Union Chief Speaks Out

OEA

We can't seem to go a week without some news about standardized testing.

It's the accepted way to measure the progress of students. 

But when student progress is extrapolated to measure teacher quality, that's when the National Education Association and its state affiliates get their backs up.

She joins us with a discussion of testing and other hot conference topics.
