Time Warner Cable recently recognized teachers from across the country at its 19th annual National Teacher Awards on Tuesday, June 3 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, D.C. This year, 29 teachers were recognized for their creative use of cable television in the classroom and each received a Crystal Apple as well as $2,000 cash and $3,000 for school technological advancement. During the ceremony, Time Warner Cable also recognized a Champion Principal who had helped cultivate a technologically-advanced school environment for teachers and students.  For his efforts, Dr. Bowden, Principal of Canajoharie High School, Canajoharie, New York, received $5,000 for classroom technology enhancement. 

The 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.
