TALKING ABOUT TEACHING —Palo Alto High School math teacher and head of Californias Multi-Tiered Student Support, Deanna Chute, talks about the importance of creating a system where all students can have access to the help that they need to succeed academically and socially. Assistant superintendent Yolanda Conaway echoes Chutes point.
