The BUENO & Lit2 Puebla Institute isn’t just a conference; it’s a bridge between cultures and instructional practice. Convivimos para aprender, reflexionar, comer, bailar y explorar. Leaving with renewed passion for supporting multilinguals. Grateful to everyone who made this institute a treasure

🚨 Federal funds for #EnglishLearners are at risk. #TitleIII dollars help districts run language programs, train teachers & support kids. Congress approved these funds — but they haven’t been delivered. School leaders can’t wait. 📞 Call your House Reps and Senators. More info at caltog.org.

At the 2025 BUENO Center & Literacy Squared Institute, participants shared, connected, and strengthened their educator toolkit in powerful plenaries, workshops & collective reflection. We also got to hear from our esteemed Mexican colleagues about the essentials on teaching lecto-escritura.
