Ashley Faulkenberry

Elementary School EAL Teacher

For Ashley, joining AISG was a game changer.

• A school that listens.

• Leaders who mentor.

• Endless resources and opportunities for growth.

“I would absolutely describe AISG as a place to grow. The professional development program here is really robust. We learn from consultants, connect with other schools, and hear from experts in our fields. It feels like we’re in it together — and students feel the ripple effect.”

A School That Empowers Teachers

At AISG, teachers are trusted as professionals and supported as mentors.

“When my learning leaders say they have an open-door policy, they really mean it. They’re not just leaders, they’re coaches. I know they’re always there for me.”

Why this matters for families

Empowered educators create environments where every child feels safe, happy, and supported.

Ashley recalls welcoming a new Grade 1 student from Korea, who only knew how to say “good morning” in English.

The AISG Impact

For families, this is the reassurance of AISG: teachers who are energized and continually growing, so every child is supported academically, emotionally, and socially. Students thrive in this environment of care, growth, and empowerment.
