Module 3 – SLP

EQUITY AND ACCESS PART 2

The goal of the Session Long Project (SLP) is to develop a policy brief. You will conduct your own research to develop a policy brief that impacts the field of education and compose a specific section of the policy brief for each SLP assignment. This will require a significant amount of time dedicated to locating references and research related to the topic of the policy brief. The components are outlined below:

SLP 1: Title and Executive Summary

SLP 2: Context of Scope of Problem

SLP 3: Policy Alternatives

SLP 4: Policy Recommendations

SLP 5: Reflection

write a policy brief that encourages a shorter page length or different format. The assignment for this course is intended to enhance your ability to conduct research and propose a policy action and you will be asked to write a longer brief

Sample policy briefs can be viewed here on the National Education Policy Center at https://nepc.colorado.edu/publications/policy-briefs

Incorporate any feedback from your instructor on SLP 2 and compose a 3-page paper the included the following components of the policy brief:
