UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES OF PROGRAM

The Aga Khan Academies (AKA) Teacher Preparation Program (TPP) is an 18 month in-school mentored practicum that
trains new teachers to teach the IB programs (PYP, MYP and DP). The program is held in a multicultural environment
where learning is enriched by the Aga Khan strands of ethics, pluralism, economics for development, cultures, and
governance & civil society. Problem-Based Learning allows participants to move between theory and practice and take
increasing responsibility in teaching and pastoral roles. The TPP is offered in partnership with the University of British
Columbia, which provides quality assurance and external assessment services. Upon completion, candidates qualify for
an IB certificate in teaching and learning in the IB program they aim to teach and those who are offered a teaching
position with the Aga Khan Academies must commit to a three-year term.
