Research Interests
Kathleen Artman Meeker
I am honored to serve as a Professor of Early Childhood Special Education and Director of the UW Haring Center for Inclusive Education. My experiences as a childcare assistant, elementary school special educator, classroom coach, and content developer have shaped my path as a researcher, teacher educator, and advocate. In my research and teaching, I explore the features of high-quality coaching across public preschool, childcare, Head Start, and early childhood special education. My current projects examine toddler language and social development in childcare, collaborations between 2- and 4-year colleges to prepare early educators, and strategies for matching teachers with personalized professional learning experiences.
