The Broad Center (TBC) at Yale SOM fosters the ideas, policies, and leadership to help all students – particularly those from underserved communities – to learn and thrive. We work in three core ways to cultivate U.S. public school systems that drive excellence and equity: Preparing and supporting transformational leaders from diverse backgrounds; Developing essential research on effective public education systems; and Informing education policy conversations to advance decisions that support great leaders and the students, families, and communities they serve. Our work is bolstered and enriched by the Broad Network, a nationwide community of nearly 900 dedicated and diverse leaders who are alumni of TBC programs.
