Associate Resident Criteria

The following information only applies if you currently work in a district, charter management organization, or federal/state department of education. 
 
Candidate Criteria
A major focus of The Broad Residency’s professional development is to help participants transition into their new role in education. Therefore, candidates currently working in a district, charter management organization, or federal/state department of education can apply only if they have been in their organization for less than one year by the time they join the program (i.e. candidates cannot have been employed by their organization prior to June 2011).  In addition, in alignment with our mission to improves education systems for broader impact, candidates must be in a role that impacts multiple schools.           
 
These candidates, if accepted, are called Associate Residents. They are held to the same standards and receive the same support, training, resources, etc as Broad Residents. Since these candidates enter the program with a position already, The Broad Residency plays no role in determining their salary or initial placement.
 
Organization Criteria
Each year, The Broad Center identifies a select number of organizations from which we will invite Associate Resident applications. These organizations must meet our general partner organization eligibility criteria. Associate Resident partnership is often based upon mission related priorities of The Broad Center (geographic location, prior/current Residency placements with the organization, general partner organization criteria, etc).

1. Achievement First 16. Louisiana Recovery School District

Associate Resident Selection Process
Associate Residents go through the same process (resume, application, and two rounds of interviews) as on the website. However, the timing of the selection process for Associate Residents is different than what is posted. 
 
Below is the process for Associate Residents:
  • Full applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis until: February 13, 2012.
  • Decisions are communicated via email within 3 weeks of receiving the application.
  • 1st Round Interviews (all done by phone) begin the last week of March, 2012.
    - Regardless of when you submit your application, 1st Round Interviews will not occur any sooner.
  • 2nd Round Interview Day (a full day of interviews) occurs on April 26, 2012 in Los Angeles.
We created this separate process to improve our ability to assess Associate Residents and more effectively compare them to one another.

Thank you for your interest in this program and the impact you currently make.
