I'm Mike Goldstein, founder of the MATCH Charter School in Boston. MATCH does 3 things.
1. Through good teaching and high-dosage tutoring, we help kids become first-in-family to get a college degree.
2. Our teacher prep program tries to generate jaw-droppingly-good rookie teachers for high-poverty schools.
3. We partner with four struggling local district schools, providing high-dosage math tutoring.
My mentors: Charlie Sposato taught me about schools, courage, and life; Tom Loveless schooled me in ed policy. Currently fascinated with a guy named Daryl Morey.
On or have been on some advisory boards. Transition teams for the past two MA governors, National Council for Teacher Quality (love 'em), Lee Academy Pilot School, Harvard's Futures of School Reform, Boston Schoolchildren's Consortium, and some others. Not sure I've added much value, though.
