Dr. Kathryn Lee is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction at Texas State University-San Marcos. She has been in education and the mental health field in Texas for over 25 years. Her experience as a secondary school teacher, a clinical therapist, and a school counselor for both elementary and secondary students underpins her basic philosophy that we must be responsive to individual student needs in the classroom. Her current emphasis as a teacher educator is preparing preservice and practicing teachers to be empathic and responsive to all students' needs, including those who have been routinely marginalized because of their ethnicity, language, gender, socioeconomic status, religious belief, disability, and/or sexual orientation. Dr. Lee's primary research interest lies in investigating instructional strategies best suited to meet the educational needs of an increasingly diverse student population, including adult online learners. Her research has the added benefit of informing and improving her own teaching practice while representing what she believes is a valuable contribution to the field.
