"Are Teachers Too Easily Caught in Crossfire Over Student Achievement?" PBS Newshour 6/5/2012

Excerpt

SUMMARY: Part of the American Graduate project addressing the country's high school dropout crisis, Ray Suarez and former Deputy Secretary of Education Diane Ravitch discuss education reform and her approach to teacher accountability.

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): And next, the second part of our series about teachers, testing, and accountability in public schools.
