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: https://www.cde.ca.gov/re/lr/
Michigan Department of Education: https://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-5373_5382—,00.html
U.S. Department of Education: https://www2.ed.gov/policy/landing.jhtml?src=ft

If you are in Higher Education you may use this website to find federal policies related to Higher Education: https://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/leg/edpicks.jhtml?src=rt

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. Be sure the hypothetical policy supports, aligns with, adds to, or amends the original policy. Be sure to include all of the required components noted in the checklist below:

1. Policy Name:
2. Target Audience:
3. Purpose of the Policy:
4. Implementation Plan for the Policy:
5. Accountability Measures: (Who is in charge of overseeing implementation and measuring progress?)
