Residency Placement

Residents work for the superintendent or a senior executive in a reform-oriented urban school district, charter management organization (CMO), or federal/state department of education. The information below provides insight on the matching process and potential placement sites.

Matching Candidates with Organizations

The Broad Residency works to closely match candidate preferences with organizations' culture and needs. The following steps occur during the selection process:

1. Candidates are asked to indicate their initial geographic preferences when they submit their resumes and applications.  We have learned that candidates' final placement decisions are often geography-related (family, home ownership, familiarity, etc).  Therefore, we ask candidates to begin thinking about geography as soon as possible.  Candidates are able to adjust their preferences later as they learn more about the opportunities.
2. In January, The Broad Residency has access to and provides specific position-related information* from the organizations that have been selected that year.  At this stage, candidates have advanced from the 1st Round Interviews and will review this information before the 2nd Round Interviews.
3. Prior to the 2nd Round Interviews, The Broad Residency conducts webinars to give candidates additional insight on placements and the matching process.
4. Based on this position-related information, candidates indicate their specific organization preferences during the 2nd Round Interviews.
5. The Broad Residency then works with each candidate to determine which organization(s) he/she will travel to for a final interview.
6. The hiring and start date is determined by the organization and The Broad Residency orientation session will take place in July.
