Illinois Network of Charter Schools 

The Illinois Network of Charter Schools and other charter school organizations from other states confront multiple challenges.  Chief among them is figuring out how to best organize and activate teachers and members of charter school communities and provide opportunities for teachers to interact with one another in order improve the way in which charter school organizations engage in the public policy arena.  SocialSphere conducted both an ORBIT report and a survey of charter school teachers in order to understand how teachers think about public policy and the way that they use technology to communicate and organize.

Using these finding INCS and other organizations are looking to use technology in new ways to push forward state-level public policy initiatives and pursue new plans for coming up with new forms of education policy collaboration.
