BOOK MARC

Meet Dr. Marc Isseks

In 2011, Marc wrote that a colorful PowerPoint lesson can fool us into thinking we have taught. Now the tool is AI, and it can fool students into thinking they have learned. His question for every audience: when technology is in the room, who is actually doing the thinking?

EDUCATIONAL PYROMANIAC
/ejəˈkāSH(ə)n(ə)l ˌpīrōˈmānēˌak/ noun
A leader who lights fires under educators who work and sets fire to systemic conventions that do not. Teacher, builder, disruptor.

How Marc Lights The Fire

Keynote/Speaking

The audience feels the problem before Marc ever names it. By the time he does, they're already leaning in. Teachers and leaders leave with tools they're still using in June.

Professional Development Workshops

Teachers don't need more things to do. They need new ways to see the work they're already doing. That's where every workshop starts, and teachers leave wanting to try something new the next time they walk into class.

Educational Consulting

For leaders ready to go beyond a single event, Marc embeds with your team. He works alongside teachers and administrators to build the kind of adaptive culture that adds gasoline to the fire you've already lit.

Let's build on what you've started.
