Summary
Howard Goldbaum was a member of the Reynolds School faculty from 2003 to 2020. During that time, he served in numerous roles including director of the Reynolds School Graduate Program.
Howard enjoys the burgeoning sense of communications enrichment that students undergo when they understand that they’ve acquired fluency in a new language, that their ideas and their observations can be expressed in new ways, with new levels of nuance and meaning.
