SIGIS: Independent Schools Special Interest Group

SIGIS provides a forum for discussion that supports the unique needs of independent school educators based, in part, on their often unique features such as individual missions, clientele, and funding models.

Learn and Lead

SIGIS offers a unique opportunity for independent schools and public schools to connect regionally and at a distance to share educational technology innovations, strategies, and best practices to develop professional development partnerships.

SIGIS goals:

Facilitate discussion relating to educational technology amongst independent schools professionals.
Build a framework for implementing ISTE standards in member’s schools and regions.
