My name is Deborah Chabi.
I have a Doctorate from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point in their Educational Sustainability program. My research interest is in Indigenous Science education and Traditional Ecological Knowledge.
I am an educator and lifelong learner. The classes I have taught are Environmental Science, Zoology, Biology, and Physical science at the high school level. Before I taught high school I was a pre-k educator for several years. Being a pre-k teacher informed the way I teach at the high school level and the way I treat my students. Learning by playing and being open to making mistakes is the best way to go about learning science. Science is dynamic and systemic. Learning happens in stages and chunks in the brain.
Organizations I am part of
Friends of the Fox River - Education Committee
East Dundee Arts Council Committee Member
