The Policy Change Proposal

This week, discuss your thoughts related to developing a proposal to improve an existing social policy.

Here are some ideas to get you started. Choose one to respond to for the discussion this week.

• What are the elements of a successful proposal? What proposal elements are generally most important for different audiences? Have you ever submitted a proposal? If so, what were the results? How did you decide to use the format you chose?
• Watch an advocacy presentation on YouTube (or a similar platform). What did you like and dislike about it? How effective do you think it was and why?
• How does your culture, background, and/or experience impact your thinking about how to identify an opportunity for change and the leadership needed? How might this assist you in completing your presentation due in Week 9?
• Explain which of this week's concepts, resources, or activities is of most interest to you and your professional development. Offer some specific examples.
