BEC Grant Applications Now Being AcceptedBuilding Ethical Communities through Service-Learning (BEC) is wrapping up yet another great project year. BEC is sponsored by The School for Ethical Education and the Albert Schweitzer Institute. BEC is a youth leadership and service-learning program for students in Connecticut schools and after-school programs. At its core, the BEC program works to help students create caring and responsible classrooms using the strategy of service learning. During their engagement in the BEC program, students discover shared values, develop ethical reflection and collaborative work skills, and apply these skills during the planning and implementation of a meaningful service-learning project. Twenty-four student teams from around Connecticut participated in BEC during the 2000-2001 academic year. Bohlin to Lead Institute in ConnecticutCan we teach students how to internalize virtue?
