Does your superintendent “get it” when it comes to technology? Does he or she demonstrate exemplary vision for the use of technology to improve all facets of education–and show outstanding leadership in working to make this vision a reality?

Then nominate your superintendent for our annual Tech-Savvy Superintendent Awards, sponsored by the Pearson Foundation and Promethean and K12 Inc. Nominations will be accepted until Friday, Oct. 30, 2009. Winners will be honored in a ceremony held in conjunction with the American Association for School Administrators’ annual conference in Phoenix, Feb. 11-13.

Nominees, who must be general superintendents of a K-12 school system, will be judged according to the criteria below. Ten national finalists will be chosen by the editors of eSchool News in consultation with the previous year’s winners.

Best Regards,
The Editors
