implementation and awareness of policy• Constant awareness: Senate committees, faculty committees,
task teams, etc.• Teaching certificate with subject-specific essay
assignment• Rubric – heavy weightings for IL• Academic program to continuously test students and
integrate IL into the curriculum• IL as graduate attribute
