BSI Outline

In Spring of 2007, the ad hoc Basic Skills Committee was created to begin to address recommendations from the statewide Basic Skills Initiative. The documents that formed the nexus of that work were The Rules of the Game and Basic Skills as a Foundation for Student Success in the California Community Colleges. These two documents plus an extensive independent literature review conducted by several of the BSI coordinators helped us begin to think through our BSI response for SCC.

As a result, that Spring, thirteen iterations of the Basic Skills Outline were created. It lists out the governing philosophy of our re-design efforts, as well as questions, inspiration, and effective practices. The last iteration of it can be found here: BSI Outline.
