She is passionate about working with educators in practice and has undertaken such efforts in a wide variety of contexts and content domains. Deb earned a B.S. in Geography at the University of Victoria, a M.S. in Plant Sciences and Environmental Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, and a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction – Science Education at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
