BUF Planning Tools and Support

This link will provide you with the tools you need to think about, plan and deeper your knowledge around BUFS.

BUFS are units for language acquisition, content inquiry and literacy.  They run concurrently with your CLM units to ensure that students are accessing paired literacy found to be critical in meeting the goals of Bilingualism and Biliteracy, Academic Achievement and Global Competency.
