Through their work with schools, representatives from both centers are hearing from educators who feel increasing pressure about how they support students.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Tania Hogan, executive director of BUENO, said that book bans and restrictions on bilingual education and inclusive curriculum have intensified debates about what teachers can teach and how they can support students. In some cases, Hogan said, educators have been discouraged from affirming students鈥 identities and teaching inclusive material 鈥 even though inclusive curriculum aligns with Colorado law.&nbsp;</span><span> &nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Hogan also mentioned how underrepresented communities are feeling increasingly targeted and that educators have also shared concerns about declining student attendance and families feeling hesitant to attend school meetings.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">鈥淚t鈥檚 the best time to stand in solidarity together and have our two centers collaborate that haven鈥檛 before,鈥 said Hogan.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">For both centers, the conclusion was clear: collaboration would combine their strengths, providing educators with deeper support and enhanced professional development and community-building opportunities.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Both organizations are nationally recognized research and community engagement hubs. A Queer Endeavor focuses on gender and sexual diversity in education to create safe spaces for students, families and staff.&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">鈥淎 Queer Endeavor鈥檚 main goal is to create partnerships with school districts, schools and teachers to support schools being places of possibility for all students with a particular emphasis&nbsp; on students whose gender and sexual identities disrupt what counts as 鈥渘ormal,鈥 said Leonardi.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;BUENO works with culturally and linguistically diverse students and teachers to create equitable educational opportunities. The two centers share commitments to justice in queer and multicultural communities and, more broadly, to equity in education.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">鈥淲e鈥檙e overdue in truly coming together in solidarity ... and of merging our commitments, resources and expertise to support people who might not ordinarily go to a conference focused on queer topics or a conference focused on language or immigration status,鈥 said Leonardi.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">The Chords of Esperanza will be a conference designed by educators, for educators. It is meant to be a supportive rally or refuge that offers resources, community and inspiration.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">鈥淧eople from a multitude of backgrounds and communities feel as though they are being silenced, so the conference is an opportunity to bring together art, music and to create a space of collective resistance and care,鈥 said Hogan. She also said she hopes people will be challenged to get messy, be uncomfortable and to work in situations they are unfamiliar with.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">The word chords in the title references the conference鈥檚 musical theme, which the organizers use as a metaphor for collaboration. Just as different tunes come together to form a melody, participants are encouraged to learn from one another as they create something new.

The organizers want to help teachers understand what laws and policies exist in Colorado and within different school districts, and that the policies support inclusive curriculum and teaching rather than hinder it. Specifically, they want to support participating teachers with navigating policies that affect students in vulnerable and legally complex circumstances. There will also be resources related to curriculum, supporting families and engaging school boards. Educators will leave with new and expanded networks of other educators who are also dedicated to justice work.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">鈥淲e don鈥檛 want them to feel alone. I think a lot of educators feel like they鈥檙e doing this all by themselves, and it鈥檚 weighing heavily on them,鈥 said Hogan.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Leonardi hopes to inspire participants to think about how they can be in solidarity to challenge and shift oppressive structures that impact specific communities with regard to gender, sexuality, language, documentation, dis/ability and intersections of these. &nbsp;Many organizations collaborate with each other on justice work, but truly bringing communities together is difficult and requires time and commitment. It is especially important to navigate justice work slowly and intentionally so that potential pushback and impact on students鈥 lives is considered.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">鈥淚t鈥檚 a true, almost daily navigation of what this work needs to look like right now . . . it鈥檚 often context-specific, person-specific. So, it鈥檚 really taking the time to figure out what鈥檚 going to be the softest way forward that will make the greatest impact,鈥 said Leonardi.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Above all, Leonardi hopes the conference will facilitate conversations about how to put the humanity of others first. 鈥淚 hope that we have conversations with people that we never dreamed we鈥檇 have and that we are changed from them,鈥 she said.&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">鈥淚 think there aren鈥檛 a ton of models that show us how to do coalition building in service of education justice, so the partnership is a really cool opportunity for us to model what it looks like and to resist binaries, transcend boundaries and come together in thick, complex and humanizing ways,鈥 said a participating graduate student who chose to remain anonymous.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">For now, planning is bringing together two centers with shared commitments to justice in education, but organizers say they plan to keep working together on future projects and see this partnership as a foundation for additional collaborators to join as the work grows. Chords of Esperanza may serve as a model for other organizations that hope to tackle educational equity and coalition building. Just as a symphony is composed of multiple sections of instruments playing together in harmony, social justice work requires collaboration across communities, working in tandem to create progress, unity and more hopeful futures.</span></p><p><a href="https://sites.google.com/colorado.edu/chordsofesperanza/home" rel="nofollow"><span lang="EN-US">To learn more about Chords of Esperanza, including how to attend and apply to present, click here.</span></a></p></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>At a time when teachers and students across the country feel their classrooms are increasingly surveilled and politicized, two University of Colorado centers are coming together to choose collaboration over competition, coalition over silos and hope for educators and students alike.&nbsp;</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/oce/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2026-03/Community%20Engagement%20Week%20Jan.%2027%202026-5720.jpg?itok=S9sDVowx" width="1500" height="1000" alt="three women smile for a photo behind a black booth with items from their respective programs"> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p>Bethy Leonardi, Tania Hogan and Sara Staley at the Queer Endeavor and BUENO Center booths at Community Engagement Week&nbsp;</p> </span> </div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> <div>Bethy Leonardi, Tania Hogan and Nicole Sager at the A Queer Endeavor and BUENO Center booth during Community Engagement Week</div> Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:25:15 +0000 Arielle Wiedenbeck 564 at /oce Community-Engaged Scholarship: A Pillar of the School of Education /oce/2024/11/14/community-engaged-scholarship-pillar-school-education <span>Community-Engaged Scholarship: A Pillar of the School of Education </span> <span><span>Arielle Wiedenbeck</span></span> <span><time datetime="2024-11-14T12:26:38-07:00" title="Thursday, November 14, 2024 - 12:26">Thu, 11/14/2024 - 12:26</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/oce/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/2024-11/image-2.jpeg?h=d7d255da&amp;itok=-Z09bJ1n" width="1200" height="800" alt="School of Ed opening"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/oce/taxonomy/term/160"> Grantee Stories </a> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/oce/taxonomy/term/232" hreflang="en">School of Education</a> </div> <span>Alexandra Wilson</span> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p>On the afternoon of Oct. 4, 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 School of Education鈥檚 building dedication and open house brought together over 300 people to honor the school鈥檚 research, student work, donor support and community impact.

The showcase highlighted how community-engaged scholarship not only enriches the educational experience of 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 students but also bridges the gap between the university鈥檚 academic research and community education needs.&nbsp;</p><p>鈥淭hroughout history and even to the present day, far too much research based out of universities has been extractive, and only of benefit to the academic researchers. To work toward a more just and humane world, university-based scholars must seek to build equitable partnerships with stakeholders that serve the needs of communities, not the needs of researchers,鈥 said Polman.</p><p>The faculty and students鈥 commitment to social justice is evident throughout their research, which strongly reflects the school鈥檚 values in promoting and facilitating equal opportunity for all students throughout the country. Their research explores and confronts a range of systematic issues present in the education system, such as language barriers within classrooms, ethnic and racial discrimination within school systems, economic disparities leading to a lesser quality of education, and the rights of LGBTQ+ students.&nbsp;</p><p>The research of faculty members and graduate students continues to lead to an array of impressive project outcomes, including a documentary by A Queer Endeavor, 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 nationally recognized center for gender and sexual diversity in education. Created in partnership with Denver Public Schools, <em>Reclaiming the Narrative</em> focuses on LGBTQ+ students鈥 intersectional experiences within schools, giving queer students a platform upon which to share their experiences and thus promote social change.

Through a partnership with the Longmont Latino Chamber of Commerce, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) K-12 students, along with their guardians, are invited to participate in workshops that provide the necessary tools to assist them in their journey to college. Puksta Scholars intend to provide a 鈥榝irst-generation scholar guide鈥 to help high school students reach their potential and fulfill their dreams of a high-quality college education. <a href="/puksta/" rel="nofollow">Visit their website</a> for more details on this project and the continuing work of the Puksta Scholars.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The School of Education and University Hill Elementary School presented the outcome of their five-year-old weekly after-school mentoring program.

The program strengthens cultural identity among underrepresented students and fosters relationships between 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 and University Hill students.&nbsp;</p><p>These projects are just a few examples of the School of Education鈥檚 collective humanitarian approach towards community engagement.
