Understanding the Basic Skills Initiative: Grant $ and Your Community College
Kathleen Flynn, Ph.D., Glendale Community College
When the Chancellor’s Office established the Basic Skills Initiative, most California community colleges requested funding. The BSI funded projects required for curriculum development, Student Learning Outcomes, and accreditation projects. BSI funds are still available, but in more restricted ways. This PCI will explain the BSI and the “Poppy Copy” report, and discuss BSI projects (one-time and on-going). The presenter will explain why one application was funded while another was not and offer advice based on experience. Handouts will be provided.
Levels / Interest Groups: CC, C/U
