Marion Goldstein, EdD, is a STEM researcher and evaluator whose work focuses on improving the developmentally appropriate use of technology in pre-K–12 learning and teaching.
During her tenure at EDC, Goldstein has been committed to creating tools that accommodate a variety of instructional needs in real-world settings. Her research has supported low-income and urban families’ access to high-quality science, mathematics, and literacy opportunities, and she has contributed to the development of digital tools to enhance students’ STEM learning. Goldstein has also partnered with Sesame Workshop, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, PBS, and the WGBH Educational Foundation to improve kindergarten readiness among preschoolers in high-need communities.
Goldstein holds a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, an MA from New York University, and an EdD in educational technology from Teachers College, Columbia University.
"Alongside hands-on learning experiences, appropriate uses of technology are a fantastic way to support students’ natural curiosity about their world."
