It has been a very exciting year for The Broad Superintendents Academy, some of their recent success includes:
- Forty percent of the larger urban school district superintendents hired in the U.S. this year have been Academy graduates.
- In addition to the superintendents hired, three of our graduates now hold important educational leadership positions in government at the federal and state levels, including Dr. Thelma Meléndez de Santa Ana, who was recently confirmed as Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education in the U.S. Department of Education.
- One hundred percent of Broad Academy graduates who have served as superintendents for four or more years are outperforming comparison groups in raising student achievement.
As you may know, the Academy prepares top executives with experience successfully leading complex organizations to become the superintendents of large urban school districts. In fact, it is the only program that trains and supports aspiring superintendents from business, government, and the military. Tuition and travel costs are covered.
For more information, I recommend two short videos on the need for educational leadership and the Academy’s efforts to fill that need, found on our web site at http://broadacademy.org/about/videos.html.
