Time for Academic Progress (TAP)

Time for Academic Progress is an after-school tutoring program at B-CC for all students who seek to do better in their courses. It provides students with a structured place to work after school. In each room, B-CC teachers are available to help students with their homework, studying, projects, papers, etc. The program has been in existence for mathematics for couple of years before expanding to English, foreign Language, science and social studies in the 2004-2005 academic year.

The expansion was in response to Acting Principal Sean Bulson's survey of student leaders at the start of the 2004-2005 school year. The number one priority for the students was having extra time and more focused academic support for all students at all levels, from those struggling to succeed in grade-level courses to those who were taking advanced courses but need extra encouragement and support to succeed.

With funding from the B-CC High School Educational Foundation, TAP is now available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2:15 to 3:15pm, in English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies at the following locations:

2008-2009

Additionally, support from the Foundation has enabled TAP to hold evening sessions at the Gwendolyn Coffield Community Center in Rosemary Hills since 2006. For the 2008-2009 academic year, these sessions will be on Mondays and Wednesdays, 6:00-7:30pm, in the 2nd floor conference room. The program provides not only general homework help in a structured environment, but als one-on-one tutors when needed. The computer lab will be available for school projects.
