Over the past six years, AISA has created a range of Design Teams to inform our thinking, strategy and programming. Design Teams consist of educators from our member schools who have a passion for and expertise in the domain of the Design Team.

Members meet virtually every month and onsite at the AISA Conference. Each Design Team is chaired by one of the AISA Team members and the group feeds into AISA’s short and long-term goals. Design Team membership is a voluntary role but offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with others, share and develop your expertise and shape the future of international education in Africa. We are currently recruiting members of the following Design Teams:

AISA Professional Learning Design Team (PLDT)

PLDT members are selected based on their ability to contribute to the Team’s development of an impactful and relevant Professional Learning Programme for AISA member schools.
