Lawrence Lee served the first twenty years of his career as a junior high school classroom teacher before transitioning to his current role as a curriculum coordinator. He has also taught various college level classes as an adjunct professor in mathematics and mathematics education, specializing in utilizing technology to enhance learning. Although he has terminated his formal education with a doctorate in educational leadership, he continues to seek professional growth. Lawrence believes that, unlike some other disciplines, mathematics was not invented but discovered by people in the effort to make sense of the world. This is at the core of his philosophy of mathematics education: that teachers are to deliver opportunities for students to create their own understanding of the enduring principles of mathematics. Lawrence spends his free time with his wife and four daughters, while trying to read every novel written by Stephen King.
