Dr. Katherine L. Schlick Noe is Professor of Education, Chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning, and Director of Literacy in the College of Education at Seattle University.
Education
A former high school English and reading teacher, Schlick Noe received her Ph.D. in Reading/Language Arts from the University of Washington.

Literature Circles are student-led book talks, formed around reading groups based on student choice and a variety of novels, as opposed to one core, classroom text or book; this approach to reading and learning emphasizes Collaborative learning and Scaffolding Theory.[1] Reader-Response Criticism, Independent Reading, and Student-centred learning also comprise most of the theoretical underpinning of Literature Circles.[2]
Teaching
Schlick Noe works with beginning teachers in the Master in Teaching Program and directs the master's degree program in Literacy for Special Needs, preparing reading specialists.[3].

Her publications exploring Literature Circles include:
- Literature Circles and Response (Hill, Johnson, & Schlick Noe, 1995),
- Getting Started with Literature Circles (Schlick Noe & Johnson, 1999),
