Okhee Lee (born 1959) is an American education scholar and professor of childhood education.[1]

Career

Okhee Lee is a professor of childhood education at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Lee is involved in establishing equity in the education of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and computational thinking for all K-12 students, including students learning English as an additional language, referred to as English learners by the U.S. Department of Education. She is an author of five books and more than 100 refereed journal articles on educational research, policy and practice.[2]

Lee is ranked since 2015 as one of the most influential educational academics in the U.S. by Ed-Scholar Public Influence Rankings published by Education Week.[3]

Lee, who holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State University, began her career at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida, where she rose to professor in the school of education.[4][5] In 2011, Lee went to New York University, where she is a professor and the principal investigator of the NYU SAIL Research Lab.[6] With funding from the National Science Foundation, its team develops elementary school curriculum materials and teacher professional development resources that support science learning, language learning, and computational thinking for all students, including English learners.[7]

Research

Lee’s recent publications call for collaboration among educators, scholars, and policymakers to ensure that English language proficiency standards are used in a conceptually sound and practically feasible manner. The AERA invited Lee to discuss the significance of her 2019 study, “Aligning English Language Proficiency Standards with Content Standards: Shared Opportunity and Responsibility Across English Learner Education and Content Areas,” in a published video.[8][9][10]

At present her research:

  1. addresses diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM, including computational thinking, that is grounded in contemporary theoretical perspectives;
  2. integrates multiple education disciplines on behalf of all students, especially English learners; and
  3. connects to educational policy and practice at the national level.

Lee’s first two decades of research, starting in the early 1990s, established her as a leader in science education and equity. With funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education, her research grew to large-scale intervention research to promote science learning for English learners across the four largest school districts in Florida.[11][12]

Lee was named to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) writing team and was leader of the NGSS Diversity and Equity Team from 2011 to 2013.[13] At the same time, she was a member of the steering committee for the Understanding Language Initiative at Stanford University. With Helen Quinn and Guadalupe Valdés, Lee produced a study on science and language for English language learners in relation to NGSS.[14] The AERA invited Lee to discuss the significance of her 2013 study, “Science and Language for English Language Learners in Relation to Next Generation Science Standards and with Implications for Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics,” co-authored with Quinn and Valdés, in a published video.[15]
