OVERVIEW 

DLI is dedicated to increasing racial diversity, equity, inclusion, and cultural competence among charter school and district administrators as a lever to increase academic and social outcomes for TK-12 students in California. 

While diversity can mean many things including socioeconomic, religious, linguistic, cultural, and more, for our purposes, we focus on race, specifically African American and Latinx. In the context of school success, we contextualize this focus on racial diversity in the areas of equity: “the outcome of practices that result in the same outcomes for members of a group. Equitable programs may make accommodations for differences so that the outcomes are the same for all individuals,” and inclusion: “when diverse groups are represented and included in all sectors of the organization and organizational life.” Through the lens of racial diversity, equity, and inclusion (RDEI), DLI seeks to ask questions, create dialogue, collaborate, assess, problem-solve, and create solutions to effect change across California, so more children see school leaders and teachers who look like them, provide quality learning experiences and successful outcomes in their public schools.
