IAAAC Conferences
The IAAAC hosts the most unique system of professional development conferences for athletic administrators, teacher-coaches and international physical education teachers. IAAAC conferences are currently held once every two years with combination of workshops designed for hands-on application and workshop/presentation format.
The conference design is based on the concept of teamwork. In order to have a successful international athletic program, the athletic director needs to rely on their schools' teacher-coaches and physical education teachers. All three groups need to work together in order for each program to be successful. The conferences are designed to have Athletic Directors share issues and successes at the international level, provide professional development for coaches and PE teachers, and for everyone to learn a new skill drills to take back to their school and share with their coaching or PE staff.
Unique Conference Format - Host School Student Participation
The conference is unique in its design as it allows for two days of classroom instruction/sharing workshops or presentations, the one day reserved for hands on application of sport-specific sharing-of-drills. One of the best things about the conference is the host school students have the opportunity to get involved. On day two, coaches will be sharing their favorite sport specific drills with other coaches. The host school will provide 8-12 student athletes to assist with the drills. This will allow the students to learn the drills and then share them with their coach at the next team practice. In many ways, the IAAAC conference is a full-circle professional development experience for all constituents of an international schools sports program.
Take Home 40+ New Drills at the Job-A-Like Sessions
On day 2 of the conference, participants are involved in a skill drill sharing set of Job-A-Likes. Coaches/PE teachers and athletic directors bring one or two of their favorite drills to their sport specific workshop to share with the group. Coaches/PE teachers video the drills and take the drills they feel will benefit their own school program.

How does a Job-A-Like Work?
- Participants are asked to bring a few of their “best” drills to share with their peers.
- A facilitator will spend a few minutes on introducing all participants to the entire group, at the same time, each attendee is asked to share with the group what they are specifically looking to gain from the 2 hour session.
- The facilitator will record comments from the group on a chart/white board, etc and categorize the comments in to a time line so as many of the topics can be covered over the session.
- The facilitator will then provide one of their own “warm up games” or “skill drills” for the group.
- Then participants will then share their own drills, ideas, concepts, etc with the group, making each workshop an opportunity for coaches, teachers and AD’s to share their own experiences.
- A change of clothes... athletic shoes, shorts, t-shirt, etc
- You will be an active member of the Job-A-Like getting down and dirty learning the new drills (showers are available for your use after the sessions)
- You may wish to bring samples of drills, videos, etc. on a thumb drive. We will upload all data to one spot so participants can share with each other.
