Ensemble Agreements! Ensemble Agreements are created by each class and serve as parameters for our learning throughout the semester. Each class has agreements that are unique, developed by student voice. For the first month of BBK classes, emphasis is placed on these agreements to hold each other accountable for creating a warm, inclusive environment.
