Basic Skills Initiative

BSI Institute for Student Success
There's nothing basic about it!

The BSI Institute for Student Success is a professional development source for faculty, staff, and administrators.  We appreciate that the College of San Mateo has chosen to make developmental education an institutional priority.  The tag line for the insititute is "There's nothing basic about it!" showing that we know that to teach and support our students in basic skills classes is not an easy task.  Through the BSI Insititute for Student Success you will find support from the BSI committee and helpful tools to help you continue to implement effective practices and strategies.  In addition to the Institute, BSI Coordinators are available to meet with you.  Please visit the "contact us" page for their contact information.
