After teaching Special Education for over a decade, Judy Lee  decided she wanted to get her certification to teach Art.  This journey had her  returning to college and leaving her  job.

After completing her course work, Judy was hired as a contracted Special Needs Teacher at the Seacoast Charter School, an arts integrated school in Kingston, NH.  After her first year she was offered a part time position teaching art to Grades 1 and 2.  Judy is currently in her third year teaching art for grades 1-4 and next year will be teaching art full time as the K-4 art teacher.  Her focus in art is the process not the product.  Students learn to critique their work for what is working well and what can be changed to improve their art work.  These skills are then transferred into their academic studies.

Most recently, Judy taught during The Inspired Classroom’s Teacher Art Retreat, 2011.
