To the students and staff at Naomi L. Brooks, Lee-Clarke is known as “Mrs. TLC,” which stands for “tender, loving and a huge caretaker.” Clarke says it is up to her to teach, love her job and display compassion for the next generation.
Lee-Clarke consistently demonstrates high ideals, professionalism, knowledge and the ability to help her students become the best they can be. She understands the individual needs of students, encourages their talents and fosters their self-esteem.

Her hands-on learning style of teaching facilitates a deeper understanding of the subject matter that is being gained by her students. Lee-Clarke’s use of project-based learning engages students by making topics relatable, enabling students to feel confident in their new knowledge.
