The high performance cheat code

In Mexico, only one in ten children who start school will ever make it to university. At this school network, it is eight out of ten. So what are they doing differently? In this episode of the EdVance Podcast, Yael Karakowsky, CEO of SER Network of Schools in Mexico, shares the thinking behind those results, the three principles her schools refuse to compromise on, and the one leadership lesson that took her completely by surprise. She also tells a story from early in her career that stopped us in our tracks. One whispered sentence in a room full of men nearly ended everything before it began. What happened next changed the course of her leadership. This is an honest, grounded conversation about what it takes to build schools that genuinely change lives. If you work in education or care about it, this one is for you. Subscribe to the EdVance Podcast for conversations with education leaders from around the world.
