District Improvement Strategy Office

The District Improvement Strategy Office (DISO) is dedicated to the sole purpose of developing, deploying, and supporting professional learning for all educational leaders.  We know improving education is complex and that each school and district is navigating change in its own way. We believe schools and districts need relevant, high-quality professional learning and support for Colorado students to succeed.
