Some Yale University students will get the chance to be taught by former U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona this school year.<\/p>\n
Cardona, a Meriden, Conn., native, will serve as a faculty fellow at the Yale School of Management for the 2025-26 academic year, where he will co-teach an elective course.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll also work with school system leaders in programs offered through The Broad Center at the Yale School of Management. The Broad Center fosters collaboration and leadership to help students in K-12 public schools\u2014particularly those from underserved communities\u2014to \u201clearn and thrive,\u201d according to the center.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Cardona\u2019s deep experience as a public school teacher, a principal and a system leader makes him such a dynamic addition to The Broad Center team of faculty and lecturers,\u201d Natasha Trivers, assistant dean and the Anita and Joshua Bekenstein \u201980 B.A. executive director of The Broad Center, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Cardona, who attended Meriden\u2019s John Barry Elementary School, Washington Middle School and Wilcox Technical High School, started his career in education by teaching 4th grade in his home city\u2019s public school system. At 27, he became Connecticut\u2019s youngest school principal and eventually became a Meriden Public Schools assistant superintendent. <\/p>\n
Cardona served as the state\u2019s first Latino commissioner of education before former President Joe Biden appointed him to be the country\u2019s secretary of education. He said in a December interview with the New Haven Register that he helped change the federal student aid system, focused on expanding career pathways beyond four-year college degrees, and more. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe provided better accountability for higher education,\u201d Cardona said. \u201cWe provided debt relief. We went after colleges like ITT and Corinthian that took advantage of veterans, that lied and misguided students and put them in debt. We went after them. I\u2019m proud of the work we did.\u201d<\/p>\n
After leaving Washington, Cardona launched a national consulting organization, Cardona Solutions, that focuses on school improvement, equity, and leadership development.<\/p>\n
Cardona \u201cbrings a wealth of experience in the K-12 public education sector, and he has also recently launched Cardona Solutions, which is all about providing excellent college access resources to all families in America,\u201d Trivers said in a statement. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see Yale SOM students take advantage of all Dr. Cardona has to offer them.\u201d<\/p>\n
