Ms. Goldman has also presented to the Board of Education and the Harrison PTA on the use of student performance data. She has also partnered with the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum & Instruction on the Tri-State Consortium, which involves a partnership with other school districts and focuses on district-wide improvements to curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
