Workshops by PDAcademia
ACAMIS Workshops by PDAcademia for Administrators, Teachers and Support Staff
ACAMIS partners with PDAcademia, a trusted provider of transformative professional development, to offer our members value-added training services. Topics and facilitators are meticulously vetted by ACAMIS and consistently earn excellent feedback from our members.
The workshop topics are selected based on direct feedback from ACAMIS member schools, ensuring the content is focused on the context, specific challenges, and opportunities faced. Each workshop is customized with relevant case studies and best practices for the international school context. This guarantees the learning is immediately applicable to your specific environment.
Below you will find lists of current and past PD events, for both in-person and online events. You can distinguish the difference between the events in that online events will include (Virtual) or (Online) in the title and in-person events will identify a host school for the event just under the title.
We are continuously expanding our calendar to provide more 2-day, immersive workshops in response to growing demand for live interaction.
