How does The Broad Residency select organizations for placement?
School districts and charter management organizations apply to host Broad Residents. Districts must have at least 20,000 students and meet additional criteria based on their student demographics and urban environment. Each year, The Broad Residency evaluates applications from districts around the country to determine if the district will be a successful, challenging assignment for a Resident. In general, The Broad Residency partners with large urban school districts that have a strong superintendent and a clearly defined strategy for improving student achievement, a senior level administrator willing to supervise each Resident, and an appropriate role for each Resident.
