SUPERINTENDENT ALBERTO M. CARVALHO NAMED
DISTRICT DATA LEADER OF THE YEAR

MIAMI – The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) named Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho the winner of the District Data Leader of the Year Award today.

Carvalho was recognized for his innovative and effective use of data to drive student performance. A selection committee interviewed the finalists and chose the school superintendent who best employs innovative data research strategies, researches new methods and opportunities to improve the use of data, and builds partnerships within the community to bolster support and use of data systems.

FLDOE, in partnership with Microsoft, launched the program in 2010 to highlight the critical role district leaders play in supporting and encouraging the use of data, and in communicating data’s relevance to teachers, administrators, parents, students and other education stakeholders.
