Teacher Recruitment
With the support of the Aga Khan Education Service,
Pakistan, the School is strongly committed to
promoting and enhancing quality education. Better-trained
and skilled teachers provide a more varied,
interesting and enriched learning experience
for the young people.
Teachers are carefully recruited through a rigorous
selection process. Candidates present a demonstration
lesson during which their teaching skills are
assessed. This lesson is followed by an interview
with the Interview Committee. Selection criteria
includes: competence and experience in the subject
area, understanding of modern teaching methods,
commitment to student-centered learning, motivation
towards the teaching learning process and openness
to change.
Ongoing Professional Development
Faculty undergo a regular and rigorous professional
development programme that helps teachers keep
abreast of the latest pedagogical research and
aids in the incorporation of unique and diverse
teaching techniques for their classrooms.
Teachers also pursue bachelor and masters level
education programmes, certificate and diploma
courses, and pedagogical skills workshops at
the Professional Development Centre (North)
and Aga Khan University-Institute of Educational
Development.
Workshops on particular subjects are also part
of professional development. For example, staff
have attended workshops focused on integrating
IT as a learning tool across subject areas.
Staff Appraisal
Besides regular attendance and involvement in
various training programmes, the School follows
an intensive appraisal system to monitor the
progress of its faculty and staff. Staff appraisal
takes place periodically throughout the year.
A formal appraisal, which takes place at the
end of the year, analyses the following factors
in order to assess the performance of the staff:
- Achievements after the appointment
- Professional Development and Growth
- Quality of teaching
- Quality of pupils’ learning
- Quality of relationship with peers
- Professional Responsibility.
