I am Mr. Dean, and I will be teaching Chemistry this School Year. For the first order of business, I would like to tell you about myself! My name is Lealand Dean, and I am a graduate from Texas Woman's University (TWU) with a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry. Basically this degree plan focusses on the Chemistry of life. The Mitochondria may be the Powerhouse of the Cell, but I know all the chemistry for why. It's all about ATP Synthase (Google it). While at TWU I taught a Physics lab as a TA for two years and it was always the highlight of my day. This lead me to pursue a career in Teaching! My personal interests include books, bicycling, bouldering, and board games. I also really like alliteration.
