The Basic Skills Initiative: 2009 and Beyond
[Basic Skills]
This session gives an overview of the statewide 2009 Basic Skills Initiative Inaugural Professional Learning Network. BSI 2009 will integrate what has already been accomplished with a new pilot, growing into a self‐sustaining, statewide, professional learning network intended to promote overall increased student success. This will allow faculty, staff, and administrators to share and build upon existing knowledge while at the same time creating opportunities for transformation. Foundational to this network are evidence‐based knowledge building, inquiry, capacity building, direct training, and resource development. To build the pilot network, coordinators have been assigned to four specific locations (Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento/Central Valley, and San Diego). These coordinators will facilitate efforts in the local regions, while at the same time providing connections with the greater statewide network. Also discussed will be the inaugural BSI Leadership Institute, which is an integral part of the network.
