(CLOs 3, 4, 5, & 6)

Background

Policy development should be the result of research and include evidence-based practice, particularly when developing policies that affect student success and school quality. Local policies should be aligned with state and federal policies to ensure compliance but written in a way that is straightforward and understandable to ensure the policies are clear and enforceable.

Instructions

2. Using the Policy Development Template, develop a PK-12 policy for adoption and implementation. 
3. Justify  its adoption with a rationale supported with current research and/or evidence-based practice.
4. Ensure that your policy is aligned to state and federal policies and in compliance with mandates at those levels using state and federal agency sources (i.e., Departments of Education).
