SLP 4

 

For the Session Long Project, you will read, analyze, and practice writing education-based policy that influences decisions being made in schools. Policies are written to assist in organizational direction and are an integral part of any education system. Go to the federal Department of Education website or your state’s Department of Education website and search for education policies.

Here are a few sample websites if needed:

Arizona State Board of Education

: https://azsbe.az.gov/resources/policies-and-reports

California Department of Education

Michigan Department of Education

For Module 4: Writing Policy: Create a hypothetical policy that could be implemented at the local level that aligns with the policy you have been analyzing in SLP 2 and 3.

1. Policy Name:
2. Target Audience:
3. Purpose of the Policy:
4. Implementation Plan for the Policy:
