The Aga Khan Academy, Maputo is the third Academy in the Academies’ network of the AKDN. The Academies aim to develop meritorious young men and women into homegrown ethical leaders through education of the highest international standard in purpose built campuses. The vision and ethos of the AKA, Maputo is encapsulated in its mission statement that calls for a commitment to promote excellence in teaching.
The primary focus of every teacher is to consider what the students are learning, how they are demonstrating that learning, and how to nurture students within the school community. As IB PYP/MYP teachers, teachers have the responsibility to demonstrate a commitment to the PYP/MYP beliefs and values and translate them into daily classroom practice, while developing the attributes of the AKA learner profile within themselves and their students.
Teachers at the AKA, Maputo also show a commitment to continually developing themselves as members of a professional learning community, and they will be expected to interact collegially with colleagues across the campus and contribute to the growth of the Academies’ network in appropriate ways, such as virtual planning and potential teacher exchanges.
