About the Webinar Guest Facilitator
Dr. Good is an associate professor of psychology at Baruch College of the City University of
New York and a member of the graduate faculty at CUNY’s Graduate Center. She received
a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Kansas in 1994 and an Ad Hoc
Interdisciplinary PhD in mathematics education and social psychology from The University
of Texas at Austin in 2001. She continued her training at Columbia University as a
postdoctoral fellow from 2001-2005 and was awarded a postdoctoral research fellowship
from the National Institute of Child and Human Development.
Dr. Good’s research program focuses on the social factors that impact students’ academic achievement,
learning, motivation, and self-image. Specifically, she studies the impact of mindsets—theories of intelligence,
belonging, and persistence—on students’ academic outcomes and teachers’ pedagogical practices. In addition
to her basic research, she develops interventions for students, teachers, and parents to facilitate the
development of effective and engaged learners. Her work has received national attention as well as funding from
the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Education, and National Institutes of Health. Her initial
work laid the foundation for many interventions that schools are adopting to improve student learning, motivation,
and achievement.
