The Broad Center invites select school districts and charter management organizations (CMOs) nationwide to partner with The Broad Residency program (TBR) and become hosts for new Residents. The Broad Residency will match 40-45 Residents as part of the 2010-2012 Cohort. Partner organizations hire Broad Residents to capitalize on the added management capacity and skills that a Resident brings to the organization to help it achieve its goals. In addition, we expect partner organizations to be active participants in the Resident’s development.

General Partnership Eligibility
- To be a Partner organization, districts must be serving at least 37,500 students in which at least 40% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price school lunch (FRSL), in which at least 40% of their student enrollment comes from minority groups, and that are located in an urban area (based on NCES Common Core of Data http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/).
- The Broad Center considers placement of Residents in districts as small as 19,500 students whose superintendent/CEO is a graduate of The Broad Superintendents Academy. TBC does not automatically prioritize these locations over others.
- The Broad Center does not give extra consideration to districts or CMOs where cabinet level leaders are graduates of The Broad Superintendents Academy.
- CMOs must be serving populations where 40% of their enrolled students are eligible for free or reduced-price school lunch (FRSL), and which at least 40% of their students come from minority groups. They must also be located in an urban area; have at least three schools in operation in 2009-2010 and have viable and foreseeable plans for further expansion.
Partner Organization Invitation and Resident Placement Considerations
The Broad Center prioritizes Partnerships each year based upon mission related priorities and assesses opportunities with organizations based on the following criteria:
• Executive leadership and governance structure.
• Fiscal and governance stability.
• Aggressive pursuit of reforms to improve student performance.
• Overall capacity and performance of the organization.
• Role proposed for the Resident.
• For CMOs - we consider student achievement data and effectiveness of the education model.
Benefits to Partner Organizations
Those organizations who become Partners with The Broad Center enjoy the following benefits:
- Added capacity from a highly capable individual with a strong interest in public urban education for future leadership roles.
- Two-year job commitment from an executive chosen through an extremely selective recruiting process.
- Limited recruitment effort required on the part of the organization.
- Final selection decision is made by the Partner organization following an in-person interview in April 2010.
- Leveraged Funding: the Broad Residency pays recruitment and selection costs, subsidizes salary, and 100% of the costs and travel for the professional development program. The Broad Center also offers Residents reimbursement for relocation expenses. Residents earn annual salaries of $85,000 to $95,000 in their first year. Partner organizations set specific salaries based on their organization’s pay scales. The Broad Residency will subsidize 50% of each Resident’s salary up to $47,500 in the first year and 25% of each Resident’s salary up to $23,750 in the second year. Districts and CMOs pay the balance and provide benefits comparable to a full-time employee in a similar position. The organization pays the remaining salary and benefits.
- Excellent track record of retention: 92% of alumni continue to work in an urban district or charter management organization immediately following their residency. 98% continue to work in organizations supporting K-12 education.
Broad Resident Selection Criteria
The Broad Residency uses a rigorous selection process to ensure districts are introduced to the most highly qualified candidates. More information about selection criteria can be found at http://broadresidency.org/become_a_resident/selection_criteria.html.
