About 3CSN
Why the BSI Success Network now?
For the past few decades, community colleges have largely been working in isolation to support students with basic skills needs. Even on individual campuses, it is frequently difficult for many to collaborate across disciplines and programs in an effort to increase student success. To help end this isolation, 3CSN is designed to bridge these gaps by establishing a self-sustaining, highly coordinated network of support. The Success Network is building a community of professional learners who can address the many shared questions and problems associated with basic skills instruction.
The first phase of the BSI Success Network included coordinators assigned to four specific locations (Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento/Central Valley, and San Diego). The network has continued to grow and has developed a number of initiatives focusing on high leverage student completion strategies, resulting in robust communities of practice focused on acceleration in English and math, on Reading Apprenticeship, as well as emerging ESL and Leading from the Center Initiatives.
The network coordinators facilitate efforts in the local regions while at the same time providing connections with the greater statewide network. Through both face-to-face meetings and virtual links, participating colleges become part of a community of professional inquiry that provides the following:
- The California Community Colleges’ Success Network, or 3CSN, a permanent professional learning community among the 112 California community colleges, and LearningWorks, a new center designed to link knowledge, policy, and practice across the CCCs
- The BSI Leadership Institute, designed to establish and advance networks on your campus and across California
- Collaborative workshops integrating earlier BSI activities with the network
- An interactive virtual network to support professional development and for information sharing
