Mission
The BUENO Center promotes and advocates for equitable education for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) learners, families, and the educators that serve them. We believe that equity and social justice advance education and improve lives and communities. To this end, we conduct relevant and timely research focused on bilingual, multicultural, and special education from early childhood through adulthood. We facilitate comprehensive professional learning from GED to Ph.D. as well as professional development opportunities for practitioners and educational leaders.
Vision
We envision schools and communities where learners of all languages, races, ethnicities, gender identities, and abilities can reach their full potential. We are committed to building pathways, facilitating asset-based discourses, and advancing innovative teaching methods to ensure equitable access to education. We strive to be the most contemporary, informative, and comprehensive research center for CLD learners, their families, communities, and the educators that serve them.
