Transformation Design District Self-Assessment: A Guide

The Transformation Design District Self-Assessment is for school districts that are reimagining learning to prepare each student—and, in particular, those who have been marginalized by racism and other forms of inequity—for success in school and beyond. With this tool, you can examine your district’s use of a set of core practices to bring about enduring and fundamental changes, a true transformation of learning for students. Transforming learning requires us to reimagine not just what we change but also how we change, and completing the district self-assessment will help you better serve your students, families, and community.
