Dr. Fay Lee shares her 30 year journey from being a middle school paraprofessional with a bachelor's degree through earning a masters in education with certification to teaching at the preschool and high school levels and on into being a community college instructor, first of English and then of teacher education. From there Dr. Lee added being a faculty advisor for education and on into administration with her current role as Dean of Instruction for the Lone Star College system. As such, she endeavors to help reduce the teacher shortage and associated learning loss resulting from uncertified teachers in the classroom.
Based on feedback from local districts as well as universities across the state, Dr. Lee assists in making practical adjustments to Lone Star College's education programs. With Texas recently approving the offering of bachelors degrees from community colleges, Dr. Lee is hopeful that they may be able to add bachelors degrees in elementary to their new offering of early childhood bachelors degrees.
