Subject: ISL designation
This was ready to present at CC meeting today but the meeting was cancelled, so it has been postponed until February 22nd meeting.
This provides a format for faculty to know the criteria of an Indigenous Service Learning designation as they include this in their courses and for students to know when they sign up for courses what they are getting. The Service Learning faculty advisory board have developed and approved this.
This is being presented to Curriculum Committee meeting for review.
The next step will be for faculty to determine which courses they teach that meet this criteria. The goal is to identify those courses in the new catalog with the designation of ISL
After this is accepted, the next step is to identify the steps to include this into the new catalog.
So here they are. Please review them prior to the next meeting. AND THANK YOU!
