TEACHER EDUCATORS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP

ISTE's Special Interest Group of Teacher Educators (SIGTE) is a group of thousands of professional educators who instruct and support inservice and preservice teachers in the effective use of technology. To achieve this goal, members organize events and collaborative working groups for professional development, research, study, and writing activities to recommend methods, policy, and standards for technology-related teacher education. The SIG's peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Computing in Teacher Education, is published four times a year.

MISSION STATEMENT

SIGTE will support and promote those [ISTE members] who teach inservice and preservice educators to
make effective use of technology. Specifically, SIGTE will:

Collect and disseminate information through publications and electronic communication networks.
Organize and sponsor all or part of meetings, workshops, and conference sessions.
Organize working groups for research, study and writing activities to meet the needs of its membership.
Recommend policy and standards for technology-related teacher education.
Serve as the teacher educators' arm of ISTE and work with other ISTE Special Interest Groups and other technology in teacher education organizations.

LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES

iste-sigte-guidelines-2005.pdf These guidelines serve as a blueprint for the operation of our SIG to provide for smooth leadership transitions and clear communication with members as well as with ISTE. We recognize that this document is living, and therefore it will be reviewed annually by the SIGTE leadership to ensure it communicates what SIGTE is all about.
