District Leadership Design Lab (DL2)

District Leadership Design Lab (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.
