Our Mission

The Center for District Innovation and Leadership works as a convener, facilitator, policy advocate, connector and partner, to co-create education ecosystems where every family in every community can make decisions that center their child’s well-being, strengths, and dreams for the future.

We believe that through community partnership, local education agencies and districts can set all students up for success from the start, by creating early education strategies attuned to the local needs of students and families. We exist to make this belief a reality.

The Center for District Innovation and Leadership in Early Education (DIAL EE) is situated within Cultivate Learning, located at the University of Washington.
