Katherine Schultz is Dean and Professor of Education at the University of Colorado Boulder School of Education. Her scholarly work has focused on the research, development, and dissemination of practices that support new and veteran teachers working with marginalized populations in high-poverty areas. Her two recent books, Listening: A Framework for Teaching Across Differences and Rethinking Classroom Participation: Listening to Silent Voices , address these issues. In particular, she is interested in talking and writing about educational issues for a wide array of public audiences. Since coming to Colorado, one of her areas of focus has been to work with the faculty to develop place-based partnerships including student teaching, professional development, research, policy, and community-engaged projects in three areas: Northeast Colorado, Lafayette (in Boulder County), and the Five Points area of Denver. She has examined and lived the issues of distrust as a teacher, principal, professional development leader, school board member, faculty member, dean, and concerned citizen. See less
