Katie White is an author and presenter with more than 30 years of experience in education. She has been a system leader, an administrator, a learning coach, and a K–12 classroom and online teacher.
Katie was an integral part of her school division’s multiyear journey through renewed curricula and standards/outcome-based assessment and reporting. Through her work at the system level, she has developed an integrated understanding of the relationships between learning, curriculum, assessment, instruction, environment, data, response to intervention, resource deployment, and system strategic planning. Her work with educators supports both a holistic understanding of learners and how they interact with our school systems alongside an in-depth refinement of practices that support teaching and learning in classrooms. Her focus is on helping educators develop a personalized understanding of the connections between curriculum, assessment, and instruction through growth in leadership, confidence, and understanding.
Katie has worked as a contracted writer and assessment expert for various groups, including the Saskatchewan Professional Development Unit (authoring their provincial assessment accreditation training) as well as the LEGO Company (as a creativity and assessment specialist). Katie is the former president and communication co-chair of the nonprofit Canadian Assessment for Learning Network, which strives to advance assessment for learning in Canadian classrooms.
Katie is the author or coauthor of a number of books, including Softening the Edges: Assessment Practices That Honor K–12 Teachers and Learners, Unlocked: Assessment as the Key to Everyday Creativity in the Classroom, Student Self-Assessment: Data Notebooks, Portfolios, and Other Tools to Advance Learning, Concise Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Assessment and Grading, and the second edition of The Teacher as Assessment Leader.
