Dr. Howard M. Glasser works with The Knowles Science Foundation (KSTF), collaborating with experts in math and science education to support teachers throughout their careers. In addition to providing personalized support to individual teachers, he works with a team of educators to develop and enact a multi-year plan to assist cohorts of teachers as they grow as professional educators and become teacher leaders in their disciplines and varied education communities. Additionally, Howard chairs the Teaching Fellows' Technology Committee and is a member of KSTF's Super Committee, supporting the organization in using digital tools for internal work and to assist teacher fellows.

Atop this work, Howard has consulted with a number of organizations and districts, including Camden City School District and The Philadelphia Education Fund. This work has focused on supporting teachers in using formative assessments and data, educational technology, science education, and teacher-to-teacher networks to enhance teaching and strengthen student learning. Additionally Howard has multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals, on topics including educational technology, science education, and equity issues in education, plus a book that focuses on formative assessment.

Prior to working at KSTF, Howard worked as a post-doctoral fellow in science education at Bryn Mawr College. While there he taught courses on pedagogies in math and science education and developed courses on gender issues in education and on technology’s role in education. Howard has served as a steering committee member for the NSF-funded Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program; has worked as a research associate for Research for Better Schools; and has consulted with the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity’s STEM Equity Pipeline Project.

Howard became interested in education as an undergraduate at Haverford College, where he earned a BA in physics with a concentration in educational studies. After college, he taught physics in Pennsylvania and worked as a teacher mentor coach. Howard earned an M.Ed. through Temple University’s Curriculum, Instruction and Technology Program and a Ph.D. in educational psychology and educational technology from Michigan State University.
