Working With Us
At DAA, we pride ourselves on recruiting extremely high quality teachers from across the world. Great teachers inspire great students. That’s why at DAA, we pay close attention to how we train and support our experienced educators.
Professional Development
We ensure that our teachers and leaders remain at the forefront of innovative teaching and learning through ongoing professional development programs. The school has a strong Professional Development (PD) Program allowing for whole school (K-12), divisional (Elementary, Middle and High School) and individual learning opportunities to build capacity within the teachers and leaders. This is supported by an early release Tuesday schedule for professional learning each week and several Professional Learning days built into the calendar. Additionally, 5 preservice days are required for new teachers and 5 days for all staff prior to the start of the school year.
In addition, as we recruit from all over the world, we recognize the expertise that each faculty member brings. Teachers and leaders within the school are empowered to deliver specific sessions during our whole school PD Days throughout the year; for DAA Teachers, by DAA Teachers. We are extremely committed to our continuous, collaborative learning culture.
