NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A new center at Yale University will focus on urban public educational leadership with funding from a $100 million gift.
The Ivy League university announced Thursday that the Broad Center at Yale School of Management will offer two tuition-free programs for around 50 participants each year.
The two programs include a one-year master’s degree for early career leaders in large school districts and “an advanced executive training program for senior district leaders, such as superintendents and CFOs,” Yale said in a release.
The center is being funded by a gift from the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, which is the largest ever made to the School of Management.
The Broad Center, a nonprofit based in Los Angeles, has been operating two professional development programs in education for more than 15 years.
The university said it will begin planning and searching for faculty and staff and plans to create new positions in education-related social science research.
