School Transformation and Beyond

When I first met Mark years ago, I was the principal of a struggling Title One school.  Learning from Mark enabled me to become a more effective instructional leader and the PD he provided my faculty assisted them in improving instruction.  It worked!  The next year our school earned an “A” (as defined by the state of Florida) for the first time ever!

I now work at the district office helping school-based administrators with school improvement efforts.  Though a trainer myself, my learning with Mark continues; he constantly challenges me in ways no other educator ever has.  Every time I leave one of his sessions I feel inspired and anxious to share what I have learned.   As Mark might describe it, he is teaching me to fish on my own rather than rely on him.

If you are looking for someone who understands school transformation, who is professional and caring, who TRULY believes in public education and who knows and can explain quality instruction—Mark is your person!  He is someone who will have a positive impact on your school and your district.
