About Marcus Stein

I build programs, grow people, and bring clarity to chaos. At Kami, I led the national Teaching & Learning team, building PD systems that weren't just effective—they were scalable, measurable, and joyful. I created onboarding and certification programs, mentored facilitators into confident trainers, and tied all of it to real outcomes like usage growth and district renewals. Before that, I was Director of Professional Development at AXI, supporting 150+ districts and proving that good PD can actually be good. Along the way, I've co-hosted two podcasts (DAT Podcast and Teacher Teacher), spoken on stages at ISTE, LACUE, and beyond, and written a book (This Could Have Been an Email) about how to make PD suck less. Top Skills: Professional Development, Instructional Technology, Software Implementation, Business Development, Keynote Speaking. What I Consult On: - Professional Development Design & Delivery - Instructional Technology Strategy & Implementation - Software Implementation & Training Programs - Onboarding & Certification Program Design - Teacher Training & Facilitator Development - EdTech Product Adoption & District Renewals - Keynote Speaking & Conference Presentations - Business Development for Education Companies
