I feel that it is important for students (and parents) to know something about the person that is teaching them (or their children). So here it goes....
| My name is Jason Goldberg. I was born in Brooklyn on March 26, 1974. I grew up and went to high school in Staten Island, NY. So, how did I wind up here in Albany? I attended college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to study biology and play baseball (that's me over there back in the day). In 1996, I graduated with a BS (that means Bachelor of Science Degree kids) in Biology. After college, I then went down to Charlotte, North Carolina to teach Medical Biology and Physical Science. Since things do not work out too well for teachers down there, I decided to return back up north, where my wife's family is, in March 1998. I found a job at Bishop Gibbons for the final two months of the 1997-1998 school year teaching Regents Biology, General Biology, and Health. | ![]() |

As for some personal info...yes, I am a die hard football fan, and I have followed baseball as long as I can remember. Since I don't really care for the Yankees, I usually take a lot of abuse from students that are Yankee fans, but they must remember this simple fact...I determine their grades. I have two cats, two sons (that's Shane on the left and Caleb on the right), and whenever possible, I recycle. My favorite movie outside the original Star Wars Trilogy is no doubt, The Godfather--although Field of Dreams is a close second. Oh, and even though I just turned 34 last March, I'm going both gray and bald a little ahead of schedule...which I am once again constantly reminded about by my students. |

Some of my friends ask me "Why do you teach?" The only way I can answer that is to tell them to come watch me one day in my classroom. I enjoy being able to help young adults as they try to understand the world around them. I try to show them that right now, at this point in their lives, everything is wide open, that the sky is the limit to any goal they want to reach--as long as they are ready to put the work in to get there. I hope you enjoy the rest of the site, if you have any questions, send me an e-mail. Feedback is always welcome! |
