Our Curriculum

Our Curriculum is Based on Data and Feedback

In 2018, the Association for the Advancement of International Education (AAIE) surveyed over 100 AAIE members about the top leadership challenges facing international educators around the globe. Nine dominant themes emerged.

Working with curriculum specialists, we aligned the existing Institute courses to address seven of the nine themes. Additionally, we are adding new courses to the AAIE Institute to ensure all leadership challenges are integrated into our core curriculum.
