What is SIF?

SIF (Schools Interoperability Framework) is an open standard for K-12 education that enables different educational applications to share data with each other. It acts as a common language, allowing systems like student information systems (SIS), learning management systems (LMS), and assessment tools to communicate and exchange information seamlessly. This reduces data silos, improves data accuracy, and streamlines administrative processes, ultimately enhancing the educational experience for students, teachers, and administrators. SIF is commonly used for tasks such as rostering, attendance tracking, gradebook integration, and reporting.
