Reading the world through literacy, inquiry, and technology.
Kristin Ziemke …
is a lifelong teacher and curious learner who has worked in service to young people for more than two decades. Recognized internationally for her expertise in literacy, inquiry, and technology, she partners with educators and organizations around the world to design learning experiences that redefine school. An expert kid-watcher and active listener, Kristin centers her work around students—amplifying their voices, nurturing agency, and honoring their stories. Based in Chicago, she is a National Board Certified teacher and the author of Text and Tech: Reading All Ways, and co-author of Read the World: Rethinking Literacy for Empathy and Action, Amplify: Digital Teaching and Learning in the K–6 Classroom, and Connecting Comprehension and Technology.
Kristin’s book, Read the World: Rethinking Literacy for Empathy and Action in a Digital Age, co-authored with Katie Muhtaris, was recently hand-selected by President and Mrs. Obama as a featured title in the Obama Library’s Presidential Reading Room. This permanent collection contains fewer than 1,500 titles deemed significant by the President and First Lady.
