Erica Butow: Improving Educational Outcomes through Leadership and Community
Erica: Thanks for inviting me, Spiffy! In Brazil, millions of children do not reach their potential because they lack educational opportunities, reinforcing the cycle of inequality. At Ensina Brasil (Teach for Brazil), we are devoted to working on that challenge by developing a network of leaders who are diverse, capable, and obsessed with solving this problem. We start at the level of public schools, acting from day one, together with the communities, in order to expand the opportunities of the students who are there today. Based on this experience, our fellows develop the commitment, skills, and mindsets needed to lead transformations in depth and at scale, until all children attain a quality education.
