BOSTON–(COMMERCIAL THREAD) – EarlyBird Education was named the winner of the K-12 Newcomer Award at the inaugural Supes’ Choice Awards 2021, the only industry awards judged exclusively by school district superintendents.

EarlyBird Education was selected by a panel of esteemed Superintendent Judges from across the country, and evaluated on its commitment to student achievement, innovation and ingenuity, customer support, interactivity and commitment. The Supes’ Choice Awards are presented by the Institute for Education Innovation, an organization that serves as a bridge between district leaders and organizations to support the biggest challenges in K-12 education.

“We are honored to be recognized as the very first winner of the K-12 Newcomer Award at the Supes’ Choice Awards, and we would like to thank all of the superintendents who participated this year,” said Carla Small, Co-Founder and CEO from EarlyBird Education. “This recognition is a testament to the vision and support of district leaders for early detection and response. By replacing the old ‘wait and fail’ paradigm with a proactive and preventative tool to identify students at risk for reading difficulties, we can change the learning trajectory of children who could potentially be neglected for months or even years. – and in the window where the intervention is the most effective.

“At IEI, we are committed to improving student outcomes and supporting effective and sustainable solutions to age-old problems in education,” said Doug Roberts, Founder and CEO of the Institute for Education Innovation. “The Supes’ Choice Awards offer companies a unique opportunity to not only showcase their products and solutions to decision makers in the district, but also to seek recognition for their work with a prestigious new industry award. ”

The winners of the Supes’ Choice Award were recognized at a hybrid gala on December 9, where the judges gathered in New York City and the event was broadcast live to all of the award nominees. The list of winners is available at www.supeschoice.com.
