Professional Learning Themes
Global Readiness
We dedicate ourselves to empowering ASA staff with the skills and knowledge necessary to prepare our students for global readiness. We commit to cultivating excellence, integrity, empathy, and respect in students, ensuring they are not only academically proficient but also globally conscious and culturally sensitive. Professional development is focused on learning experiences that bridge diverse cultures and perspectives. This commitment ensures our students are well-prepared to navigate the world and make it a better place.
Innovative and Research-Based
Innovation and research sit at the core of our teaching and learning practices, driving us towards educational experiences that engage and challenge our students. Our focus on innovation ensures we are not just educators but leaders, ready to make a difference in our communities and beyond. We use research-based pedagogical strategies through aligned and integrated curriculum to meet the unique needs of each student.
Reflective Collaboration
Growth at ASA happens collaboratively. We commit to continuous improvement and come together to share insights, challenge assumptions, and inspire excellence in each other. Through a continuous cycle of reflecting on student data and evidence, we engage in an ongoing dialogue about what it means to teach and learn effectively. In nurturing these learning communities, we ensure that our educational strategy remains dynamic, responsive, and deeply connected to the needs of our students and the wider world.
