Mark is involved as LRE Academy faculty for Project Citizen, iCivics, and Kids Voting AZ trainings but is familiar with many law related and civic education programs.  As a former teacher, Mark is well-versed in the art of facilitation.  He strives to present new ideas in a detailed fashion all while ensuring participants understand what is being presented.  Learning new material may be daunting at first but Mark creates an atmosphere that welcomes questions and he takes the time to personally answer individuals.  He is quick to offer technical assistance and maintains communication with past training attendees who seek additional support.  His experience with a vast number of civic education programs provides training participants with a number of tools and resources they may need to implement a new curriculum.  Mark is always up to date on current trends and this allow for participants to gain relevant knowledge.  He shares a great rapport with co-facilitators and brings wit, excitement, and energy into the training room.  Innovation also describes Mark as he brings new facilitation techniques and ideas into a training.  With the growth of technology in the classroom, Mark has become a front runner in utilizing technology during a training to effectively engage and assist teachers.  The Foundation is lucky to work with Mark to promote law related and civic education programs in Arizona!
