Sans entourage. Answering some of the same questions that we asked her last week at her State of the District address.

When King 5 reporter Robert Mak asked her if she was willing to fight to bring Teach For America to Seattle, given the hefty opposition from the teachers union, Goodloe-Johnson replied that she was a "little surprised" by the concern. "It's an innovative idea," she said. "It's not an idea to fight about" because TFA candidates will follow the exact same hiring process as any other teacher in the district.

Mak also asked her is she had been "personally disturbed" when the teachers union gave her a no confidence vote. Goodloe-Johnson replied that "there's been a lot of change happening"—referring to the program cuts, school closures, etc.—"that creates stress, so it plays out in many different ways." She said that she was engaging teachers in brown bag lunches to listen to their concerns.

My favorite response was this, however. When Mak asked her about her biggest surprise since coming to Seattle, she said: "The lack of systems and innovation in a very innovative city."
