Lee LeBoeuf is a 5th year graduate student from Dayton, Ohio. She received her BA in Psychology from Ohio Wesleyan University in 2017. After graduating, she taught at a public charter elementary school in one of Cleveland's most underserved communities. As an RA in the EDL during the summer of 2018, Lee became very interested in Montessori education. She is interested in researching the outcomes for Montessori students--particularly the potential Montessori education holds to "close the gap" between urban and suburban student populations. She is an IES-funded fellow in the VEST program in UVA's School of Education.
