Background

About Mark Silberberg

I have been a member of the Little Red School House & Elisabeth Irwin High School (LREI) vibrant learning community for the past 17 years and am inspired each day by students and colleagues alike. I currently serve faculty, students and families as the school's Director of Learning and Innovation. Prior to that, I served for more than a decade as the school's Middle School principal. A lifelong learner, I began my formal adult life in schools as a teacher of physics, chemistry, English and an experiential business simulation class in the public schools where I also worked as a school administrator and technology coordinator. For the ten years prior to coming to LREI, I was a co-founder and co-director of a progressive K-12 public charter school where I currently still serves as a board member. In all of these roles, I have sought to build meaningful connections that are mutually beneficial to students, teachers, parents and the community. Through collaboration, empathy, and listening I have endeavored to create a more holistic, equitable, belonging-focused and purpose-driven approach to education for learners. When not immersed in things education, I enjoy spending time with my family and completing sundry home repair/tinkering projects. I am an avid soccer player and skier and wish I had more time to play the guitar and bass.
