Under her leadership, Nova Escola has grown from a printed magazine into a digital platform reaching one million teachers every month across Brazil. Their AI assistant built on WhatsApp has now reached 200,000 educators, including teachers in the most remote corners of the Amazon.</p><p>Ana reveals why teacher support in Brazil has failed for decades, how one state produced 70% of the country's best schools, and why the most powerful thing a school leader can do is simply believe their students can run the world.</p>
