Education leaders. Community partners. Lasting results for students. We believe America's public education system can and should be an engine of excellence and equity. To make that a reality — across entire cities and states, not just at individual schools — we need more than great teachers and principals. It also takes extraordinary people serving in the management and leadership roles in our school systems to ensure that every school, every classroom and every child gets what they need to be successful. The Broad Center identifies talented individuals from inside and outside K-12 education — people who have the passion, knowledge and skills to ensure every central-office dollar and decision is focused on opening the doors to educational opportunity for all students — and then supports them in their work in school systems, even long after they graduate from our programs. Our work will be done when every family in every community can send their child to a great public school that meets that student's every need. Until then, our team and our alumni network won't rest. Created in 2002, The Broad Academy is a two-year advanced fellowship for proven system leaders who are dedicated to creating the conditions that powerfully address student needs while supporting and inspiring the people working in the system to do their best work. The Academy program helps our fellows strengthen their ability to lead and grow high-performing organizations where students can graduate ready to achieve their dreams. Created in 2003, The Broad Residency in Urban Education is an intensive two-year management development program for talented early- and mid-career professionals. During the program, Residents are hired into full-time roles by urban school districts, public charter school networks and state education agencies — allowing them to leverage their professional expertise and experience for immediate impact while developing their knowledge base and leadership. Nearly 90 percent of Residency alumni are still working in K-12 education.
