In February we hosted our Paraeducator/Family Liaison Institute. It was wonderful to see so many family liaisons and paraeducators who are dedicated to learning and growing in their own practices and strategies. Our keynote speakers, Dr. Sue Hopewell and Dr. Cynthia Trinidad-Sheahan delivered powerful messages and our presenters provided a variety of engaging breakout sessions. Dr. Lorenso Aragon received the BUENO Lifetime Achievement Award for his years of dedication and support to teachers, paraeducators and family liaisons. Special thanks to our BUENO staff and faculty for putting on a great Institute! Here are some quotes from attendees and pictures from the event:
