About me
Hello. My name is Barry Lee, a professional educator and welcome to my website. In these pages I will take you to
a journey in self-discovery.
The purpose of this website is to explore my professional development as a teacher/researcher with the hope of bringing
change and understanding for myself. It will bring a contribution to a body of knowledge, in a form of self-expression, I
have accumulated over the years. It is unique because of my background and international experience of which there is no documented
evidence that coincide with my living educational theory.
I think that a living educational theory changes over time. What I started with has now evolved into something different
with the passage of time. How the theory has changed? What is the theory?
Life begins with a breath of fresh air and moves along a continuum through physical transformation coupled with cognitive
processes to arrive at a point where the future is left hanging - to be carried on or to be terminated. Though equally important,
physical transformation is a biological issue that will not be dealt with in this discussion. My focus is on the mind and
how it can be developed through reflection and practice. What we say and what we do are often in contradiction. Bringing ourselves
closer to our values is what reflection can do. When we minimize these contradictions we can realize growth in change
and understanding.
