Caroline Hill

Caroline is a thought leader who lives at the edges of education, innovation, and equity. Her work at this intersection inspired the creation of equityXdesign, a powerful design framework that merges the consciousness of equity work, innovation with the intentionality of design. Her latest venture, the 228accelerator, catalyzes the redesign of the relationships that normalize mistreatment and oppression, builds bridges between the powerful and the powerless, and accelerates our journey to a more inclusive society. This work stands on the shoulders of more than 20 years in public education, education innovation, management consulting, and engineering.

Caroline has lived the life cycle of school creation and transformation as a teacher, mentor, coach, founding principal, and also as an investor in innovative school models. She empowers people with creative authority to reimagine themselves as designers of human relationships. This challenge inspires her to explore innovative organizations and learning models that optimize the role of relationships, leverage technologies, and engage people as agents in their own transformation. She supports several national education organizations as they work to design and create more inclusive and responsive organizations and learning models.

Caroline holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Virginia and a Master of Education in Learning and Teaching from Harvard Graduate School of Education. An additional Master of Science in Administration was conferred through New Leaders for New Schools—a principal training fellowship.
