Projects and Courses

BCIL projects and courses align with the mission to prepare community members to engage with real world challenges and explore solutions within and beyond the classroom.

They also include instruction, assessments, and self-reflection on the BCIL Core Leadership Skills. Students are offered opportunities to choose their own academic path and to create connections with related stakeholders. Teachers and students receive support from the BCIL through collaborative meetings, classroom assistance, peer-to-peer feedback, professional development, creative scheduling, and additional resources.
