Adrienne Endres is an experienced education leader with a strong focus on multilingual learners and bilingual programming. With nearly two decades of experience in Pre-K-12th grade education, Adrienne most recently served as the Executive Director of Multilingual Education in Denver Public Schools. In this role, she not only tripled the availability of Dual Language and Newcomer programming for historically underserved students, but also achieved remarkable growth in English language proficiency — outpacing the state and exceeding pre-pandemic growth trends.
Adrienne’s career began as a bilingual teacher in Perú, and she has since held various instructional and leadership positions at both school and district levels in Denver. Throughout her career, she has consistently advocated for underserved students and has been instrumental in creating programming, professional development, curricular resources, and program review processes that prioritize student outcomes. Adrienne has expanded the Seal of Biliteracy program, significantly increasing the number of recipients, through the integration of explicit language instruction into all content areas, as well as World and Heritage Language programming, aiming to develop the cultural and linguistic competencies of all students.
Adrienne holds a B.A. in Journalism and Technical Communication from Colorado State University and an M.A. in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education from the University of Colorado Denver.
