Andy Kopplin, who served as chief of staff for former Govs. Mike Foster and Kathleen Blanco, is one of 14 people chosen for the 2010 Broad Superintendents Academy, a 10-month training program that prepares people to lead urban public school systems.
The class includes high-ranking military officers, government officials and education executives. Kopplin is currently senior adviser to the founder and chief executive officer of Teach for America, Louisiana.
The Broad (rhymes with road) Superintendents Academy is the only program in the country that recruits and trains non-traditional superintendent candidates as well as stand-out career educators. Participants keep their current jobs and attend extended-weekend training sessions, covering CEO-level skills in education, finance, management, operations and organizational systems. The Broad Center covers tuition, travel and all program expenses. The Broad Center also helps place participants in urban school districts as superintendents and senior executives.
Program graduates have filled 68 superintendent positions and 88 senior school district positions nationwide, according to The Broad Center for the Management of School Systems, based in Los Angeles.
