MYP Mathematics Teacher
Chris Mark
Chris Mark has been at CISH since September of 2014, originally as the K-10 music teacher. Prior to coming to China, he was a professional musician, including 4 years with the Canadian Forces as a trade musician. Chris holds a total of 9 IB certificates spanning all three IB programmes (PYP, MYP and DP), and has been fortunate to have experience teaching a variety of subjects and all grade levels here at CISH.
Also a qualified mathematics teacher, Chris enjoys teaching middle school math. Passionate about teaching and learning, he’s very pleased to be joining the mathematics department at CISH. Always student-centered, the mathematics classroom is a balance of conceptual thinking and practical application. There is also a focus on the development of academic language, with many activities designed to foster discussion and oral participation in class.
Outside of school life, Chris is still a practicing musician as well as a competitive athlete. He competes in long distance triathlon events around the Asia-Pacific region when scheduling permits.
