The Congress of Hispanic Educators (CHE) increases educational equity for Denver Public Schools (DPS) bilingual students and families by overseeing court-mandated services and resources for English Learner (EL) students. The need for CHE oversight has greatly increased due to disruptions to EL education and services due to the pandemic and the ongoing influx of EL refugee students in Denver’s Montbello neighborhood. The BUENO Center for Multicultural Education will support CHE in realizing this charge by providing educational advising, data/policy analysis, and technical assistance.
The BUENO Center/CHE partnership will produce research-based recommendations for DPS to improve educational equity for EL students in the form of a series of technical reports, a white paper and advocacy briefs for the Department of Justice. It will also produce scholarly work on how community-university partnerships can leverage interdisciplinary compliance evaluation research and district collaboration to promote advocacy for equitable EL education.

The BUENO Center and CHE will engage in collaborative agenda-setting and planning. CHE will provide the BUENO Center with an up-to-date review of immediate community needs, CHE goals for oversight and policy/data analysis and priority areas for the initial series of technical reports that this analysis will produce.
