About
Katie holds degrees in education from the University of Toronto and an undergraduate degree in English literature from the University of Waterloo. Her research interests include the experiences of multilingual newcomers in elementary schools especially those who arrive in Grades 4 to 6 not having learned about print literacy in any language. Approaching research from a humanizing perspective where participants are included in the research process is of particular interest to Katie. She has been a teacher for almost twenty years, mostly with multilingual elementary students in Ontario schools but also at the secondary level in England.
