In addition to his desire to transfer from his extensive knowledge of the profession to others, Doron served as a biology teacher at the Comprehensive School in Ashdod.

In the school there are still two large volumes of transparencies, which are the work of Doron, who continue to serve students as effective means of illustration in the field of biology.
