The National Association of Elementary School Principals in partnership with VINCI Education is pleased to announce the Digital Leader of Early Learning Award. This award is in honor of Leonardo da Vinci, a scholar, inventor, and innovator who embodied the type of renaissance thinking we all wish to inspire in our children. We are looking for NAESP members who have embraced such thinking in their schools with innovative educational technology practices that support the early learner. Our aim is to showcase your leadership in technology and early learning Pre-K-3 programs to be recognized and shared with colleagues. VINCI Education is committed to making a difference in the lives of children maximizing each child’s potential by creating tools and offering education services that are scientific, holistic, experiential, accountable, and relevant to each individual child’s need.

VINCI Education is a unique early childhood partner of the National Association of Elementary Principals (NAESP). Together, we advocate for an integrated program that helps parents to develop their children in a systematic way with a universal Pre-K-3 program and for educators to learn strategies and gain competencies in order to help young children succeed in school and beyond.

Beginning December 1, 2015 through March 1, 2016, principals can apply to be a recipient of the VINCI/ NAESP Digital Leader of Early Learning Award. This can be accomplished by submitting a 2-3 minute video showcasing how you are creatively using digital technology and tools in the early learning classroom to drive student development and achievement. This video may include examples of student work and show students actively engaged in learning through technology. Please upload your video to You Tube using the private settings and share the link in your application.
