Mark is Principal and CEO of Kellett school, in Hong Kong. He is a regular speaker at the likes of the COBIS conference, has multiple articles published in TES and remains a go to voice for podcasters looking to discuss innovation for international teaching. 

I would like to say a huge thank you to Mark for offering his time and insights, which ultimately led to an extremely enlightening conversation. Anyone who has plans to teach or lead abroad will hopefully find what he had to say, very useful indeed. 

We discuss:

• Competitiveness in international teaching recruitment
• Why teachers or leaders may need to reconsider their application approach
• Technological innovation inside and outside the classroom
• the difference between British private schools and those found in Hong Kong
• And advice for anyone looking to write more about the profession, whilst maintaining a healthy work/life balance. 

Many, many thanks again to Mark for giving me the opportunity to talk with him today and I wish him well steering Kellett further into future.
