CIU 20 Literacy Symposium 2017
Join Us for a Day of Professional Learning!
Kate taught reading and writing in Brooklyn, NY and has worked as a literacy coach before joining the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project in 2005, where she worked as a Lead Staff Developer for 11 years. She is the co-author (with Christopher Lehman) of the popular Falling in Love with Close Reading, and of DIY Literacy (with Maggie Beattie Roberts), along with two Heinemann Unit of Study books on Literary Essay.
Her work with students across the country has led to her belief that all kids can be insightful, academic thinkers when the work is demystified, broken down and made engaging. To this end, Kate has worked nationally and internationally to help teachers, schools, and districts develop and implement strong teaching practices and curriculum. Her blog, indent, is a touchstone for hundreds of teachers, and she uses social media, particularly Twitter (@teachkate), to help build community and solve problems among her educator peers.
