Teaching

Dr. Lee teaches the following early childhood graduate courses at Hunter College:

[ECC 709] Mathematical and Scientific thinking in Early Childhood
[ECC 710] Early Childhood Mathematics: Birth through Grade 2
[ECC 712] Pre-Student Teaching Field Placements in Early Childhood

Research

Her research interests include early childhood professional development in mathematics, especially focusing on teachers’ beliefs. Currently, as a part of an ongoing collaboration between Hunter College and Columbia University, she has integrated a web-based video system, Video Interactions for Teaching and Learning (VITAL), into her courses and is evaluating its effectiveness in early childhood teacher preparation.
