All of Life is a Constant Education-Eleanor Roosevelt
Hi, My name is Lisa Debany. I have been a science educator for 16 years. Before entering the teaching profession, I worked in the medical field and also in industry. I find that having experience in the science field outside of education has been a benefit to me. I am able to apply what kids are learning to the "real" world. I am currently teaching high school biology in the Northwest corner of Connecticut. I have been at the same school district for six years and feel I have grown as an educator. I am the adviser of our schools Science Club. As adviser of the club, I have been able to get to know students on a more personal level. This has been truly rewarding. With the club, I have traveled overseas and made international connections all while studying science. The club has been involved with project based learning activities that they volunteer their time to complete. I highly recommend working with your students in an extra-curricular format.
