AISA Learning Programs
Empowering Educators
Strengthening Schools
Professional learning is central to AISA’s mission. We believe that sustained, research-informed learning has the power to transform schools. At AISA, professional learning is not a one-time training; it’s a shared journey of growth rooted in context, collaboration, and care.
We define professional learning as a process that connects educators and school leaders to expert insight, peer communities, and tools they can apply in real settings.
Our learning programs are strategically designed to meet schools where they are, building capacity across the full ecosystem of international education in Africa.
AISA’s professional learning programs are not only aligned with global standards, they are shaped by local realities. Whether you’re strengthening instructional practice, building safeguarding systems, or leading organizational change, our learning programs support long-term impact through research-informed, relevant, relational best practices.
“I have been to many PD in my 18 years of teaching, but AISA is so well organized and inspiring to me personally, other PD's are just not in the same league. Every time I have come out of an AISA conference feeling forever changed. I hope my school allows me to attend again next year.”
