The idea of the SGIS PRIDE Educators Group came out of the professional development workshops at the Middle School SAGA Conference in March, 2019. Educators from five International Schools in Switzerland decided we wanted to have a way to stay in touch, share resources, and support each other as we try to do this good work in our schools.
After receiving approval to become an official Swiss Group of International Schools Group, our website was launched in October 2019.
The SGIS Pride Educators Group is currently being led by teachers at Zurich International School but we are growing every year and would love to have you with us!
Our hope is that this website will elevate the group's work, provide a platform to share resources, and help us to create and expand our community of educators.
Join us, and let's see where we can go!
Visibility, Protection, and Inclusion
We are committed to inviting in and making known our presence for the benefits of belonging.
We are a community of learners that assume the best intentions as we learn from each other and seek advice/support on strategies and students
We are student- and context-centered and will use time effectively
We are valuable and therefore we will be aware of what we bring to the space and how we contribute
We will strive to be positive and fully engaged in meetings while looking for ways forward
We build psychological safety, by building in time to check in with each other
