History and Charter
ISED-L is a forum for the needs and interests of the independent school community. It is a vehicle for faculty, staff, and administrators to seek advice, to establish new friendships, to locate collaborators for online and offline projects, and to post conference, employment, and other announcements.
You can submit for discussion any topic related to independent school education. Please do not send advertisements, messages intended for an individual only, or flames. If you have any doubt about the appropriateness of your message, seek advice from ISED-L-request@listserv.syr.edu.
