African Leadership Academy (ALA) invites dynamic, motivated educators from around the world for a 4-week, residential professional development opportunity on its campus in South Africa. Offering teachers a window into ALA’s unique Entrepreneurial Leadership and African Studies curriculum, the Educator Program is an opportunity to work side-by-side with the brightest young leaders on the African continent and to connect with other dedicated educators from around the globe. At ALA, educators will find an eclectic network of faculty and staff dedicated to creating transformative change in Africa through the power of education and will come away from the experience re-inspired by the innovative wonder of the teaching profession.

For educators interested in the program, the first week on campus will be spent alongside fellow teachers diving deeply into ALA’s unique curriculum, practicing the B.U.I.L.D. process for leadership development, and learning about the beauty and potential of the African continent. The following three weeks will be spent teaching alongside ALA graduate facilitators, gaining first-hand experience with the model, and interacting with students from across Africa and around the world through our Global Scholars Program. The Educator Program at ALA is offered free of charge to selected participants, and more information is available on the ALA Summer website: alasummer.org/educator-program/.
