Alberto M. Carvalho is an educator and the superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), the fourth-largest school district in the United States,[1] with over 346,000 students. He was appointed as superintendent in September 2008, when the district was facing financial challenges.[citation needed] He was also appointed the chairman of a taskforce aimed at improving teaching quality throughout Miami in 2010.[2] Carvalho "franchised" MAST Academy, opening three new schools based on the original Virginia Key institution.[3][4]

In 2012, the Miami-Dade County Public Schools won the Broad Prize for Urban Education.[5]

In February 2014, the American Association of School Administrators named Carvalho the 2014 National Superintendent of the Year.[6]

In May 2014, Carvalho was honored by President Barack Obama at a ceremony at the White House. He was honored alongside the National Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year winners. Candidates for the national title were measured on their leadership for learning, communication, professionalism, and community involvement.

Carvalho was named Florida's Superintendent of the Year in December 2014. In 2016, Carvalho was named the winner of the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education for K-12.[7]

He is not with out controversy. He was implicated in a romantic relationship with Tania deLuzuriaga in 2008 , a former Miami Herald education reporter, despite that he was hired. Many were disappointed when he didn't punish those responsible in a cheating scandal.
