About
Susan R. Goldman is a pioneering cognitive scientist whose research lies at the intersection of learning, literacy, and technology. Her work fundamentally reshapes how we understand reading comprehension, collaborative reasoning, and the design of educational environments that foster deep, disciplinary thinking. With over 10,000 citations, Goldman’s contributions are foundational to the learning sciences. She is best known for developing the “Reading to Learn” framework, which emphasizes the role of prior knowledge, text structure, and discourse in comprehension, and for spearheading the “Project READI” initiative, a multi-institutional effort to improve evidence-based argumentation from multiple texts in history, science, and literature. Her research has profoundly influenced classroom practices, curriculum design, and digital learning tools. Goldman’s notable achievements include serving as President of the International Society of the Learning Sciences and receiving the American Educational Research Association’s Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award. Her work continues to guide educators and researchers in creating more equitable, knowledge-rich learning experiences.
