Judged Exclusively by School District Superintendents, The Awards Will Honor This Year's Edtech Visionaries and Innovators
NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Institute for Education Innovation (IEI), a national school superintendent think tank that serves as the bridge between district leaders and the K-12 industry to develop solutions to the greatest challenges in public education, today announced the finalists of its Second Annual Supes' Choice Awards.
The Supes' Choice Awards are the only education industry awards judged exclusively by school district superintendents. Each edtech product and solution is evaluated based on a commitment to student outcomes, innovation and ingenuity, client support, interactivity, and engagement.
Even more rewarding to the finalists is the unique opportunity to secure the undivided attention of superintendent judges from across the nation and receive constructive feedback throughout the evaluation process. The insights edtech companies received from district leaders in the inaugural Supes' Choice Awards helped many elevate their services or solutions from practical tools to must-haves for student success.
"After the success of last year's Supes' Choice Awards, edtech companies quickly recognized this opportunity was like no other in the industry," said Doug Roberts, founder and CEO of IEI. "The Awards are not just a celebration of what they've already achieved, but the steps they'll take to innovate moving forward. When a company can engage with superintendents from a diverse collective of districts, they ensure any future enhancements to their solutions will better align with the needs of the students they serve."
