Selection Process
The Broad Residency seeks emerging leaders who can make an immediate impact in the management of urban school districts and charter management organizations. There are a limited number of placements available, therefore, the selection process is highly competitive and differs from traditional hiring processes.
Who makes the selection decisions?
Alumni of the program have a strong understanding of the skills needed to succeed in the work and are involved in several stages of the selection process. All applications are reviewed by Broad Residency alumni. In addition, the 2nd round interviews include a team comprised of Broad Residency staff and alumni. The last round is with the hiring organizations which make the final decision.
