LEE is the founding executive director of the Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline™ at Illinois State University, which is grounded in social justice and works to cultivate and sustain innovative, resilient, and effective educators for urban schools and their communities. This collaborative model of urban teacher preparation has raised teacher quality to improve school progress and student achievement. Lee’s most recent publications include a co-authored paper (2014), A survey to assess barriers to urban teaching careers, in the journal Urban Education; and a co-authored chapter, Beyond the Ivory Tower: The role of contextually based course redesign in a community-embedded urban teacher preparation model for the Routledge publication, Moving Teacher Education into Urban Schools and Communities (2013). In 2014, Lee was awarded a $10.1M US Department of Education grant entitled URBAN CENTER (Using Research-Based Actions to Network Cities Engaged in New Teacher Education Reform) Project to replicate the successful Chicago pipeline model to additional urban school districts in Illinois.
