Mark is an Assistant Professor of Teacher Education and Leadership at Pittsburg State University, Kansas. He researches diverse topics such as meaningful integration of social emotional learning into the curriculum, educational technology in social studies, social studies preservice education, teacher candidate dispositions, and the ever-evolving identities of teachers and educators.

Mark has over 25 years’ experience — ten as a high school teacher in England, with the rest earned in the US as a social studies teacher, technology specialist, and teacher educator. He describes himself as a dad, Arsenal fan, sometime travel soccer coach, and semi-retired broken Aikidoka. Not necessarily in that order.
