Sponsored by University of Colorado Denver’s School of Education & Human Development and in partnership with the National Center for Research on Educator Diversity at the University of Houston, the Colorado Educator Diversity Policy Forum brings together higher education professionals, policymakers, state leaders, educators, community leaders, and graduate students to share ideas about effective approaches to diversifying the educator workforce in Colorado.
