Meet Cheli Cerra, Founder of Eduville , Cheli Cerra provides education coaching and advice via Eduville.com, CheliCerra.com, and her social media channels. Named AXA Business Woman of the Year for Education. Cheli founded Eduville as a result of her own two children. Being an educator she realized how hard it was to navigate the educational system when she started looking for the right school for her children. What she thought would be easy turned into a huge project. Being an insider in education she still felt lost and overwhelmed. As she went through the school choice process she felt that she needed to take charge and help others. In 2001, Cheli made a decision that changed her life. She left the school system. Cheli immersed herself in research, started a website, and began to go on radio shows sharing her knowledge with others. Although she was thrilled at the fact of being able to create her dream of helping others Cheli was overwhelmed. She tried to do it all. Cheli hung in there. She went to numerous conferences on education. She found a mentor, hired a coach and began to write her book. Soon after she took on a partner and the School Talk! Series was created. She was so happy to have been able to realize her dream. She went on radio, news media, and wrote articles to help parents. She knew she was on the right track making a difference. Then the phone call came. Three days before the school year began, she was asked to go back and be the 6 th principal of one of the best schools within the district. The school had been founded in 1923. She couldn’t say no. Cheli went back to being a school principal. She continued to research, write and speak on education issues but most of all she continued to help parents within her school and community. She developed a team and took the existing school to a new level – a K-8 Preparatory Academy on two separate campuses. She became more involved with the community around her. This led her to continue to coach and mentor more parents on education issues. Success! Now check your email to confirm your subscription. Success! Now check your email to confirm your subscription.
