The official blurb is open to interpretation but I agree with Ista.

"Special Interest Group (SIG) on teaching statistics with R. The
primary purpose of the group is to provide a forum where instructors
using R in their statistics courses can share ideas, teaching
materials, and experiences. One particular focus of the SIG is to
provide helpful support to instructors new to R who are teaching
introductory statistics courses populated with students with little
experience in statistics, statistical software, and command line
interfaces."
