Debbie Leonard

Former Teacher, Cofounder of BrainZones

Debbie Leonard, M.Ed., is an Ohio Master Teacher with over three decades in urban middle schools—spanning a boys’ reformatory school as well as severe behavior-disordered and at-risk classrooms—plus 10 years of coaching. That variety shaped her instructional style: manage behavior with safety, structure, and routines; balance instruction through explicit teaching, independent practice, student collaboration, and application; and spark engagement with laughter, movement, connection, and interest. Today, those ingredients live in the backend of her co-designed app, driving teacher success from bell to bell.
