Dr. Brandy Yee, Assistant Professor of Education and Director of Liberal Studies in Education Program and the Director of the Master of Education Program has 24 years of teaching and leadership experience at the K-12 level in middle schools (as well as district-based leadership experience) and at the post-secondary level with undergraduate and graduate students in universities in the US, Canada, Germany and Finland. She continues to work as a consultant with education districts around the world as they look to create responsive models of schooling, relevant in a contemporary societal context. Dr Yee is a published author and a sought-after speaker at conferences, symposiums and workshops worldwide. She is a very curious learner and teacher, deeply interested in creating developmentally responsive classroom environments that foster student engagement, academic achievement and student well-being.

As a university professor, she creates online and face-to-face opportunities for teachers and teachers in preparation to collaborate and inquire regarding how teaching and learning theory informs instructional and assessment practices to improve learning and wellness outcomes for all students, particularly students who are culturally diverse learners or who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Her PhD research examined the neurobiology of adolescent development and the interaction among leadership dimensions, instructional practices and student agency within the contexts of early adolescent learning and middle level learning environments in Finland, Germany and Canada.
