VOICE MATTERS!

Dr. Kathryn Page was born and raised in Washington and has served as an educator, school principal, and as an administrator serving in various roles at the district office. Her career led her to working as a contractor for Washington’s Office of System and School Improvement (OSSI) assisting school districts with continuous improvement efforts. Kathryn’s experience, training, and service as a supervisor and instructor for principal interns at the university level, and as a mentor for new administrators through the Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP), has only reinforced her belief in the critically important role of a building administrator on both the climate and culture of a school community. 

Dr. Page received her BA from Central Washington University in Special Education and Elementary Education and completed her MA at Whitworth University in Educational Administration. Her doctoral work in Educational Leadership brought her to Gonzaga University where she examined the evidence-based strategies to surface the barriers to school improvement efforts.

Kathryn has been a presenter on various topics for OSSI, Educational Service Districts, school districts, and at the university level. In 2019 and 2022 she was a presenter for the Annual Washington State Becca Conference on strategies to address chronic absenteeism and surface barriers to continuous improvement efforts.

This guide represents 25 + years of her experience as a teacher and as an administrator engaging those who have not had a voice in the educational system. She continues this work fueled by an unwavering belief that… VOICE MATTERS.
