About the Teacher
My name is Katie Van Gorder and I have been working at Chatterton Middle School since 2008. In that time, the Chinese program has grown from one 7th grade class to two 8th grade and 7th grade classes. It has been wonderful to have the chance to work with students and help them understand more about China and the Chinese language.
I started studying Chinese when I was in middle school. In 1998, I was fortunate enough to travel to China for the first time and on that trip I fell in love with China! I've been studying Chinese and taking trips there ever since! And now I get to provide the same opportunities for students at Chatterton!
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the program or if you have any concerns regarding your student in my class.
