Katherine Schlick Noe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Katherine L. Schlick Noe is Professor of Education, Chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning, and Director of Literacy in the College of Education at Seattle University. She is noted for her research on Literature circles. Literature Circles are student-led book talks, formed around reading groups based on student choice and a variety of novels, as opposed to one core, classroom text or book; this approach to reading and learning emphasizes Collaborative Learning and Scaffolding Theory. Reader-Response Criticism, Independent Reading, and Student-centred learning also comprise most of the theoretical underpinning of Literature Circles. Her publications exploring Literature Circles include Literature Circles and Response (Hill, Johnson, & Schlick Noe, 1995), Getting Started with Literature Circles (Schlick Noe & Johnson, 1999), Literature Circles Resource Guide (Hill, Schlick Noe, & Johnson, 2001), and Literature Circles in Middle School: One Teacher's Journey (Hill, Schlick Noe, & King, 2003). A former high school English and reading teacher, she received her Ph.D. in Reading/Language Arts from the University of Washington. Katherine works with beginning teachers in the Master in Teaching Program and directs the master's degree program in Literacy for Special Needs, preparing reading specialists (cited from Literature Circles Resource Center).
