Deborah Backman, Foreign Language Association of Maine’s (FLAME) 2022 World Language Teacher of the Year and Maine’s 2025 Kennebec County Teacher of the Year, teaches World Languages (German) at Cony High School, in Augusta, Maine.
“I share insights with my students that I have gained through my experiences abroad, while inspiring students to seek their own international experiences, to foster a deeper appreciation of other cultures and, in turn, a greater understanding of their own.”
