Information
for Teachers
The Aga Khan Schools, with support from the Aga Khan Education
Services, are strongly committed to promoting and enhancing
quality education. Better-trained and skilled teachers
provide a more varied, interesting and enriched learning
experience for students. Teachers are carefully recruited
through a rigorous selection process.
Professional
Development of Teachers
In addition to a programme of international exchanges,
each of the Aga Khan Academies will incorporate a PDC
aimed at research, development and the implementation
of best practices in contemporary education. These programmes
are available not only to the Academies’ staff,
but to the faculties of other public and private schools.
Faculty members can draw upon a broad programme of professional
development courses. In addition, faculty will be actively
involved in research activities at the PDC and curriculum
development for their Academy.
PDCs offer courses in general pedagogical skills, interactive
learning methods and student-centred teaching techniques.
Through Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational
Development, teachers are able to pursue certificates
in the teaching of English, science and mathematics, curriculum
development, early childhood development, as well as school
leadership and school management. Masters, PhD and post-graduate
courses are also offered through Aga Khan University.
PDC programmes already train key teachers in a variety
of schools throughout the developing world with the aim
of having those teachers go back to their schools and
train others. Through the multiplier effect, the Academies
aim to have a broad impact on the quality of education
nationally and regionally. |
