What is AFT

A real teaching apprenticeship, before your first job

The Academy of Future Teachers gives candidate teachers professional experience before they've taught in real contexts: schools and early childhood institutions.

You develop the craft that actually gets used: planning and running lessons, creating resources, assessing student learning, managing a classroom, and reflecting honestly on your practice.

Experienced mentor teachers guide you the whole way.

What you'll gain

A learning environment inside leading Indonesian schools, with dedicated mentors and trainers
Real experience and knowledge about teaching and learning
The opportunity to practice your teaching knowledge and skills
A genuine chance to be hired as a teacher afterwards

What's asked of you

Demonstrating professional conduct
Committing to professional learning
Presenting prepared lessons
Managing and finalizing the AFT program

AFT runs across ten subject tracks, so you train inside the discipline you actually want to teach.

From the cohort

What participants said

The question-bank program using Examview is very helpful and effective. It helps teachers organize questions really well.

Syarifah Hudiya

AFT 2019 Participant at TNA Aceh

AFT is a genuinely comprehensive teacher-education program. I gained knowledge that is truly useful for becoming a qualified educator in this information age.

Kemal Jacob Alis

AFT 2019 Participant at Kharisma Bangsa

The reading-book program made me realize that being a teacher is not just about delivering lessons in front of the class. It is far more meaningful than that.
