School District Superintendents Have Selected the Best Products in Today’s EdTech Industry
NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2023 /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, is excited to announce the winners of its third annual Supes’ Choice Awards.
Selected by a panel of K-12 superintendents from across the country, each awardee represents the shared goal of the edtech industry to resolve real-world challenges in the classroom and positively disrupt education. Each winning product, solution, or software was evaluated based on a commitment to student outcomes, innovation and ingenuity, client support, interactivity, and engagement. Winners were revealed at the Supes’ Choice Awards Gala in New York City on Friday, December 8.

This award provides a unique opportunity for education companies to showcase their products or solutions and secure the undivided attention of administrators who serve students from various regions and socio-economic backgrounds. Finalists also received coveted feedback from district leaders throughout the judging process.
“Superintendents sit at the nexus of all stakeholder needs in our public schools, from teaching and learning to business operations,” remarked Doug Roberts, founder and CEO, IEI. “Supes’ Choice was created to amplify and elevate the influence of district leaders in the K-12 industry, and we are so glad that so many global edtech organizations share this belief and have added their solutions to the growing applicant pool each year.”
