Kim Lane has been in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools since 2006, teaching middle and high school ELA and journalism courses. As a gifted education specialist, her work includes presenting at state and national conferences on the subject of developing student voice through creative writing and performance opportunities. Kim also engages in arts outreach nationwide through the Alzheimer's Poetry Project, and as a resident artist with the National Center for Creative Aging. She has authored several collections of poetry and professional essays, and is committed to supporting young (and not-so-young) writers as they develop voices of self- and social advocacy. An avid ultra-runner, joyful singer-songwriter, and all-purpose adventurer, she is committed to supporting students' whole and messy selves--even their curiosities that do not fit so neatly in the curriculum.
She earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees at UNCG, and her postgraduate gifted education certification through Duke University. Ms. Lane is a National Board Certified Teacher in the area of Gifted and Talented Education.
