The document announces a 2009 BSI Leadership Institute to be held June 14-20 at San Francisco State University. The goal is to bring together colleagues and leaders from community colleges across California to develop their understanding of topics like faculty inquiry, networking, communities of practice, and institutional transformation. Participants will work to answer questions around establishing networks to support student success, especially for underprepared students, and how colleges can collaborate statewide. The week-long workshop aims to provide models of best practices, expertise, and connections to help participants support students and design successful programs on their own campuses.

CCC BSI 2009
C C C BS I 20 09
In 2009 building on its previous successes, the
BSI now plans to 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. The participants in
the summer convening will help lead this ef-
fort, allowing faculty, staff, and administrators
to share and build upon existing knowledge
while at the same time creating opportunities
for transformation. Foundational to this Net-
work are evidence-based knowledge building,
inquiry, capacity building, direct training, and
resource development.
