INVISIBLE | Session 26 | Brazil | Glaucia Rosas, The EduTec Alliance

Glaucia Rosas is an education technology leader and innovation catalyst who works in digital learning projects and in the school management field. She is a qualified teacher and holds a Business Management and Finance degree. She received her Masters degree from Johns Hopkins School of Education on Digital Age Learning and Educational Technology. During her career, she has specialised in School Management, School Leadership and Financial Management. Glaucia is a Microsoft Educator, an Apple Teacher and is in the process of being certified as an ISTE Educator (International Society of Technology in Education). As the former Head of Digital Learning at St. Paul’s School, the prestigious British international school in Sao Paulo, Brazil, she designed and implemented the school’s Digital Learning strategy, for which it received the Microsoft Showcase School and Apple Distinguished School awards for their innovative and creative use of technology in education. Aware of the challenges that the rest of the education sector was facing with technology, in 2020, Glaucia got together with James Wilkinson to found The EduTec Alliance. James was the school board member who had sponsored all her projects, for that he had spent 35 years travelling the world designing and implementing advanced technology solutions for major corporations. Their primary objective was to allow wider access to the winning strategies that they have applied at St. Paul’s, and to provide the knowledgeable and affordable advice that has been lacking until now for schools. The EduTec Alliance’s mission is to help schools across the world to overcome their digital transformation challenges and shape their technology structure and strategy to offer the best possible learning experience to pupils and efficient day to day operation for the whole school community. As a membership-based organisation, it allows collaboration among members, which is invaluable to keep them ahead in the education technology space.
