CEBER: Advancing Equity Through Policy and Practice
CEBER emphasizes on the role of policy in promoting equity, cultural pluralism and democratic schooling.

CEBER extends great appreciation to the local, binational, and international communities, students, families, educators, researchers, advocates, and policy makers we serve for partnering with us in this critical work.
