Praise
“Lee’s approach to instruction was a unique and inspiring experience. I felt supported and encouraged to learn through a social justice lens, and Lee always valued feedback and passionate classroom discussions. Her particular teaching style is innovative, fun, and authentic to the core. She facilitates in a way that gives agency to students, and it has already had far-reaching implications in my own career as a social worker.”
“I had the privilege of being a student of Lee Fuoco at Salem State University School of Social Work. As an educator and mentor, Lee cultivated a classroom that pushed all students to challenge their beliefs, reflect upon diverse clinical perspectives, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves as young clinicians.
Lee seamlessly threaded her academic, professional and personal knowledge into the curriculum while simultaneously integrating student experience and personal narrative as key elements of understanding. Lee nourished a classroom deeply rooted in social justice and validation of individual experience, a foundation that I now carry as a young professional.
Lee truly sets the standard for what an educator of social work and social justice should be: knowledgeable and open, passionate and curious, intellectually and socially engaged.”
