Katherine Schultz is Professor of Education and Dean Emerita at the University of Colorado Boulder School of Education and a faculty fellow with the Renée Crown Wellness Institute. 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 books, Listening: A framework for teaching across differences and Rethinking classroom participation: Listening to silent voices, address these issues. Her most recent book, Distrust and educational change: Overcoming barriers to just and lasting reform, about the role of distrust in educational reform, draws on her work in Oakland, as a school board member in Chester, PA, and leader of professional development in international settings. She is currently working on two books: one on practice as a keyword in teacher education and the other on the dignity of teachers and teaching. A founding member of Education Deans for Justice and Equity, she continues to be in a leadership role in the organization.
