BOCES Exploratory Enrichment (BEE)

What is BEE?

  • BEE is a new CoSer created by Monroe #1 BOCES to fill a need for events that support academic standards outside the realm of the NYS Arts Standards. This includes experts and institutions with focus on Mathematics, Science, and History Standards, as well as Environmental, Career Development, Health and Character Education learning outcomes.

    Monroe #1 BOCES will provide opportunities for students to participate in shared learning experiences, focusing on NYS academic and/or occupational standards, excluding the Arts in Education Co-Ser. Program activities will take place in district facilities, at Monroe #1 BOCES, or at out-of-district facilities, such as universities and colleges, museums, libraries, historic sites, estates, zoos, and gardens.

    All program request made through BEE must be aligned to New York State Academic Standards. And a minimum of 2 district participation is required to receive aid.  To view a listing of current events that are shared or need a partner, please visit the BEE Shared Event Listing page.
