Research and evidence-based practice

High quality teaching forms the bedrock of effective learning and student success, playing a pivotal role in shaping the minds and futures of students.

Skilled teachers possess deep subject knowledge. However, also fundamental is their pedagogical expertise, enabling them to present information in a clear, engaging, and meaningful manner. Effective teachers adapt their teaching strategies to meet the diverse learning needs of students, fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment.

High quality teaching goes beyond the transmission of knowledge. It inspires and motivates students to become lifelong learners. The most effective teachers instil a love for learning, curiosity, and critical thinking skills in their students, creating an atmosphere that encourages exploration.

The 2024 SGIS conference will explore what research and experience says about how schools and teachers can ensure that their students receive the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive.

The Swiss Group of International Schools (SGIS) is a non-profit, membership-based organization that aims to actively support the continuous improvement of its member schools.  We encourage and support collaboration between schools through the exchange of information and good practices, and facilitate opportunities for members of staff across our schools to connect with others and further their own professional development. 

Similarly we facilitate opportunities for students to connect with other young people, particularly through our sports programme, leading to a richer educational experience.
