“BCII is a comprehensive framework that guides educational systems to develop a focus on student and adult learning, leading to high student performance. I believe, after almost 45 years in public education, BCII offers the greatest potential for educators to maximize their professional success for the benefit of our students.”
A Collaborative Effort To Improve
Dr. Richard Elmore
“Principals are spending more and more time on instruction, but it is not time well spent, in that it does not yield widespread results. They should direct their energies to developing the group. The principal’s role is to lead the school’s teachers in a process of learning to improve their teaching, while learning alongside them what works and what doesn’t work” (p. 56).

John D. Welty Center for Educational Policy and Leadership
Serving Central California



Dr. Michael Fullan
In 2014, Dr. Elmore and his students entered into a partnership with the Welty Center, Clovis Unified School District and the Fresno County Office of Education to develop the knowledge and skills to project their own schools forward, impacting the learning of students at high levels across all classrooms. In essence, to grow from within, developing their own internal coherence. Through the important research and collaborative efforts of Dr. Elmore, Dr. Michelle Forman, Dr. Candice Bocala and Dr. Elizabeth Stosich, BCII has expanded from a pilot program in a single district to include multiple rural and urban districts across Central California.
