About this person
His program of building schools that were tightly integrated into their neighborhoods helped shape Seattle into a city known for its distinctive, cohesive neighborhoods. He also served as superintendent in Des Moines, Iowa, and Salt Lake City. A devotee of the educational reformer John Dewey, Cooper's progressive approach sometimes brought him into conflict with more conservative community members, particularly after World War I.
