Weight: 13% of course grade
Policy Improvement Plan
Evaluate a current local, state, or federal policy. What are some problems that exist with it? Are there any challenges, if so what?
Using the problem-solving method from Unit IV, create a PowerPoint presentation for policy-makers at the appropriate level that discusses ways to improve the policy you have chosen. How could the current policy be modified, improved, and implemented?
Using the problem-solving methodology, you will complete the tasks below.
- Identify the problems with the current policy.
- Discuss the population the policy is set in place to help.
- Indicate any challenges with the current policy.
- Suggest how the policy could be modified to improve its current function.
- Discuss how the new and improved policy will be implemented.
- Infer/deduce positive outcomes from the hypothetical improvements made to the policy.
Use data to support your answer. Present your findings to the policy-makers in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. Your presentation should consist of at least 10 slides, not including the title and references slides.
PowerPoint Requirements:
- All graphics must be clear.
- All graphics must be cited.
- Include at least four photos.
- Include at least one graphic.
- Include notes so that the information on the slide contains simple bulleted phrases and the notes expand on those bullets with complete sentences – as if you would use them in an oral presentation to the policymaker.
