Alan H. Schoenfeld holds the Elizabeth and Edward Conner Chair in Education. He is also an Affiliated Professor in Berkeley's mathematics department. Schoenfeld has served as President of the American Educational Research Association, and as Vice President of the National Academy of Education. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a Laureate of Kappa Delta Pi.
Schoenfeld's research deals with thinking, teaching, and learning, with an emphasis on mathematics. His book Mathematical Problem Solving characterizes what it means to "think mathematically" and describes a research-based undergraduate course in mathematical problem solving. He led the Balanced Assessment project, which developed alternative assessments for K-12 mathematics curricula, and has worked on modeling the process of teaching. His current research focuses on issues of equity and diversity in mathematics education. Schoenfeld is a senior advisor to the Educational Human Resources Directorate of the National Science Foundation, and has served as senior content advisor to the What Works Clearinghouse.
Schoenfeld was lead author for grades 9-12 of the National Council of Teachers' of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. He was one of the founding editors of Research in Collegiate Mathematics Education, and has served as associate editor of Cognition and Instruction. He is a principal investigator in the Diversity in Mathematics Education (DiME) Center on the Berkeley campus.
