Sarah Applegate, Washington

Susan Bischoff, Florida

Anthony Cody, California: "I have been around social movements for a few decades myself, long enough to have experienced some setbacks along the way. There is a time for pragmatism and a time for boldness. I believe we are entering a time when boldness will be rewarded."

Bill Ferriter, North Carolina: "To truly maximize compensation, teachers must demonstrate the impact that their new learning has had on students using authentic classroom assessments."

Nancy Flanagan, Michigan: "My state union, the Michigan Education Association, called to tell me that I will not be allowed to present at workshops and conferences in the future (something I've been doing for decade). I am officially persona non grata with the MEA. At the moment, I am feeling pretty brave and bold."

Theresa Killingsworth, Arizona

Becky Malone, Tennessee

Valdine McLean, Nevada

Renee Moore, Mississippi: "Everything we propose is well within the realm of the possible. The big questions are whether we can overcome the inertia and knee-jerk on this issue."

Ford Morishita, Oregon
