Ada G. Debien
Ada Debien is currently teaching 4th Grade at Roosevelt Roads Elementary School, Puerto Rico. She holds a Master of Arts in Education, with an emphasis in English as a Second Language, from the University of Phoenix. Ada comes from a family of educators. She has nine aunts who are teachers. A parent gave Ada a sign that says, "De este salon salen los mejores estudiantes de Puerto Rico," which means, "The best students in Puerto Rico walk out this classroom's doorway." This sign always reminds Ada of who she is and her purpose in life. Ada provides her students the opportunities to acquire the tools they need to be life-long learners and to leave her classroom feeling successful in their accomplishments and personal commitments to help others.
