The most notable thing about Lisa is her fearlessness and willingness to bite the hand that feeds her whenever she feels a bite is deserved. Though employed by the NYC Department of Education she remains one of its most vocal critics. But the NYCDOE is far from alone in feeling Lisa's sword, she cuts wide swaths through corporate takeovers disguised as education reform, obfuscatory lingo, and policies that are less than stellar. When not slaying dragons, Lisa is a mentor to teachers trying to integrate technology into their backward schools, a supporter of parents, students and teachers who are trying to reverse the rush toward more and more standardized testing.
