Julie Kasper

Julie Kasper holds a PhD in Educational Leadership and Policy, an MA in TESOL, and she currently serves as K-12 Multilingual Education Instructional Coach in a large school district in Washington.

Kasper is a National Board Certified Teacher. Kasper taught English as a New Language in K-12 schools for 16 years before transitioning into nonprofit, research, and leadership work focused on refugee/(im)migrant education, education leadership, and critical pedagogical and policy practices across diverse U.S. and global contexts. Kasper regularly engages in co-creative processes that support and sustain learning, unlearning, and relearning in communities of care and communities of practice.

Her work with educators and students as co-equal learners and leaders in schools sits at the intersections of critical theory, collaborative research, and culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining pedagogies. Kasper is most interested in the possibility-space intraactively becoming within transnational education ecosystems.
