Pearson congratulates Dr. Mark Edwards, School Superintendent at Mooresville Graded School District, North Carolina who was named Superintendent of the Year yesterday by the American Association of School Administrators during its annual conference.
AASA executive director Daniel Domenech said, Mark Edwards is exactly the kind of superintendent we need to carry public education deep into the 21st century. He gets it. He has combined the savvy to lead a digital revolution in his schools with the wisdom to know that teachers teach their best and children learn their best in an environment that promotes mutual caring and respect.
Mark Edwards saw early on that new technologies provide us with greater visibility into each student's learning and actionable data to personalize the education path for every child, said Pearson's Scott Drossos. "This inside look at data will be the key to transforming education not only here in America, but throughout the world. He continued, All of us at Pearson join in congratulating Dr. Edwards on this great honor recognizing his remarkable leadership and immense contribution to the future of education.
In 2007, Dr. Edwards made the bold move to swap out textbooks for digital learning, with the intent of creating a "culture of digital conversion" for every student, every teacher and every administrator in Mooresville. In just five years, the transformation for this small district has been astounding even to Edwards and is reflected in the incredible gains his students have made:
