Barfield Elementary Principal Judy Goodwin made the short list of Tennessee’s Principal of the Year.
Each year, the Tennessee Department of Education recognizes outstanding administrators in education with the Principal of the Year. Goodwin was selected to represent one of nine regions from across the state.
Goodwin has been an educator for 36 years and began her first administration assignment in 1996. For the past nine years, she has been the principal of Barfield Elementary in southwest Murfreesboro.
"Tennessee schools continue to move forward largely due to the hard work of education leaders like those we recognize today,” Education Commissioner Timothy Webb said. “These awards honor education professionals who make considerable contributions to school and district improvement while remaining focused on what is best for students.”
The winners will be named at the 7th Annual Tennessee Educational LEADership Conference in September.
Principal of the Year programs are co-sponsored by Education Networks of America. The winners and each of the finalists will receive awards provided by ENA at a banquet during the 2008 LEAD conference.
The principal award celebrates school leaders who have implemented outstanding programs resulting in significant school improvement and actively advocated for the improvement of education for Tennessee’s children.
Nominees must be a current principal with 10 years experience in Tennessee public schools, five years of which must be administrative experience.
