Fernando Mesquita, M.Ed.

I am an Educational Developer with experience in project and program management, curriculum design, teacher education, student success, and school leadership.

My mission is to develop people, programs, and policies that maximize student learning, success and positive impact in the world. I have been in education for over 20 years, and I am a lifelong learner, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and skills in the field.

Currently, I serve as the High School Principal at Escola Concept São Paulo, a dynamic, project-based learning K-12 bilingual school with a global perspective. My professional and research interests include a range of topics related to creating vibrant learning cultures, fostering student engagement, promoting global competence, facilitating professional development, and cultivating strong instructional leadership.

My vision for education centers on the notion of learning as a lifelong pursuit. I believe that learning to learn, learning to be a global citizen, and learning to collaborate and think critically are the essential building blocks for sustainable, equitable, peaceful, and prosperous societies.
