Top SchoolPaul Goldenberg is a Distinguished Scholar with over six decades of experience in teaching, curriculum development, and education research, 38 of those years leading mathematics and computer science education projects at EDC. He blends deep academic training (PhD from Harvard) with extensive classroom practice from second grade through university, focusing on cultivating mathematical curiosity and cognitive habits of mind for all learners. As Principal Investigator on NSF-funded efforts, he designs curricula that treat mathematics as a refinement of everyday thinking, emphasizing accessibility and teacher development across K–12. His earlier work at MIT, Tufts Medical Center, BBN, and Lincoln‑Sudbury applied computing to education and communication for non‑vocal individuals, foreshadowing today’s emphasis on assistive technology. Known for staying active as both teacher and learner, he pairs cognitive science insights with practical classroom methods to make sophisticated mathematical thinking enjoyable and attainable. Based in Newton, MA, he continues to advance teacher enhancement and inquiry-driven learning at the intersection of math and computing.
