The ISA Education Department aims to foster excellence in teaching and learning across our member schools.
Subject Level Networking Groups
ISA offers informal online sessions as part of membership where educators can connect, share insights, and collaborate on subject-specific challenges and best practices. These sessions provide a platform for educators to strengthen their professional connections and enhance teaching strategies across member schools. They focus on different subject areas, allowing educators to engage in discussions and share innovative ideas.
Discussion Forums
ISA offers online forums as part of its membership for educators to engage in meaningful discussions, share resources, and seek or offer advice on current educational topics. These forums allow Members to explore various topics, including Early Years education (EYFS), EDI, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and Cross Faith discussions. Educators can join one or more forums to connect with colleagues across different specialisms and sectors.
Education Committee
The Education Committee monitors current academic developments and formulates the Association’s response to Members, government and related organisations. It works on a range of projects to enhance the quality of education across member schools, supporting the sharing of best practices.
Inclusion Committee
The Inclusion Committee focuses on promoting inclusive practices across member schools. The Committee oversees the Association’s work in developing and promoting the principles of inclusion within the Association and supports Members in developing and promoting the principles of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in their schools. The committee works collaboratively to share best practices and drive forward initiatives that support all learners.
Independently Speaking, the ISA Podcast
Independently Speaking is a podcast where educators and experts discuss key educational topics, share insights, and explore innovations in teaching and learning. This podcast is a valuable resource for those looking to gain new perspectives on education and stay up to date with the latest developments in the field.
