Performance in Education (PIE) SIG
Where performance meets collaboration in education
The Performance in Education (PIE) SIG brings classrooms to life through drama, debate, and performance-based learning. Our mission is to make education more creative, engaging, and collaborative. We also participate in many collaborative activities with JALT chapters and SIGs, tapping into regional bases to attract diverse participants and enjoying the benefits of working with new colleagues with different approaches and talents.
