Vice Principal of Eaton Elementary School, Ashley Talley, was named 2011 ISTE Emerging Leader and recognized in Philadelphia, PA this summer. With this honor came the interview with “Learning and Leading” magazine, a publication from the International Society for Technology in Education. The article in the Dec/Jan edition describes how the use of technology in Talley’s classroom led to increased student engagement and better student behavior.

Talley’s photo also will appear in ISTE advertisements in media publications.
