Freeman is an Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. She received her BA in Spanish from Western Maryland College in 1982, her MA in TESOL from New York University in 1986, and her PhD in Linguistics from Georgetown University in 1993. Her research explores how US schools can organize their programs and practices so that low-income Latino students can achieve, and includes ethnographic\/discourse analytic research in two transitional bilingual programs (in Brooklyn, NY in 1986, and in Perth Amboy, NJ in 1987) and in two dual-language programs (in Washington, DC from 1989-1991 and in Philadelphia, PA from 1996 to the present).
