The sculpture sits in the courtyard of the Mountain View’s Caltrain station, just off Castro Street. “It is a very interesting sculpture and I hope more people take the time to take a closer look,” he said.

man said, and the district’s educational foundation is working to raise enough money so that other district schools might also get a tablet cart. “The vision, with respect to ST Math and Khan, is that all schools will have access to the programs, all schools will have access to the training to use the programs successfully, and all schools will have access to the hardware to be able to use the programs — not only in the computer lab but in the classroom as well,” Goldman said.

Beyond that, he hopes more and more kids will be able to start using these types of programs at home. Goldman said the district is doing well financially. “The district expects to have a positive ending balance for 2012-13, and does not expect to implement furloughs or reductions in programs,” he said, adding one caveat: he is concerned about the “long term impact of fiscal insecurity on the district if the governor’s tax package is not passed in November.” Goldman is particularly enthusiastic about continuing to solidify the EDI program at district schools. He said the method of instruction provides direct feedback to teachers and ensures that students of different levels of ability are able to work together without having to speed up or slow down too much to accommodate others in the class. “We’re dedicated, as a district, to focusing on the implementation of EDI over the next 10 years,” he said. That’s why five of the district’s best EDI teachers will be put on special assignment this year. They will be free from teaching a class and instead will be going into the classrooms of other teachers to observe and provide instant, real-time feedback on what their colleagues are doing well and points where they might improve. “This coaching model is a great way to go, because it removes concerns about evaluation from the process and focuses on ensuring that both students and teachers are successful,” Goldman said.
