2008 Champion
Principal Award


Over the years of conducting Time Warner Cable's National Teachers Awards we've come to realize that a principal's encouragement and support can make a tremendous difference in how effectively technology is used to maximize teaching and learning in the classroom. That's why we're looking for a Champion Principal who supports and understands the use of technology as an effective classroom learning resource.

Our 2009 Champion Principal will receive a trip for two to the TWC National Teacher Awards gala celebration in Washington DC and $5,000 for classroom technology enhancement.
