DL2's Mission

DL2 supports school district central office leaders in transforming their central offices into powerful engines of educational equity—relentlessly ensuring high-quality teaching and deeper learning that centers, values, and elevates the success of students identifying as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, students of color, or living in low-income circumstances.

We do so by helping district leaders:

  • Access rigorous research about what central offices do when they support equitable teaching and learning,
  • Use that knowledge to transform their central offices in ways likely to be successful in their settings, and
  • Lead the change process from an anti-racist stance.

We study their progress and generate lessons for our partner districts and the field.

Central Office Transformation

Everyone matters to equitable teaching and learning

What is Central Office Transformation?

Central office transformation involves the fundamental redesign of all central office practices and systems to ensure they work together in support of excellent, equitable teaching and learning.
