Mark Manners

Biography

I support SLED organizations across the country by utilizing software as a communication, collaboration and learning management tool. I currently manage and oversee SLED in NE and TX for Zoom. I believe that streamlining operations can increase engagement, create meaningful insights, address inequities, transform student learning and drive decisions to improve business outcomes. My career in sales launched after joining the EdTech start-up world in 2017. I'm also currently a member of the strategic advisory board at AnetaEd and served as the Chair of the governing board at NovaStar Academy for 3+ years. Prior to my work in software, I was an experienced educator with a diverse background. I taught K-12 visual arts, career and technical education (CTE), English language acquisition (ELA), advanced placement (AP) and concurrent enrollment courses as an adjunct professor through the Community College of Aurora. I was a part of the site design team in a network of turnaround schools where we helped write an application for innovation which paved the way for what is now called the APS Action Zone.
