Systems to make resources available (cIcu website and others)

Map and integrate into teacher and leader preparation programs: reform expectations; and content and tasks of certification exams.
Facilitate summer summit (intensive session) that provides deliverables for the fall and beyond.
Engage faculty and individuals in similar roles.
Expected campus roll-out.
Phase 3: Building leadership

Bringing best practices to scale: Campus stakeholders and faculty
(education, arts and science, leadership, business)
P-12 partners (leadership, cooperating teachers)
Research, benchmarking
