Hello,
I have recently been asked to work on policy briefs with a graduate class,
so I have been following this discussion with great interest. It has given
me a lot of good suggestions. Thank you.
I too would like a copy of your powerpoint presentation Sandra.
All the best,
Emmy

Hello Sandra,
I don't think it would be bombarding - you could contextualise the
powerpoint, talk about how you use policy writing with your students and
then invite anyone who is interested to contact you. I'd like a copy, by the
way!
Best,
John

Thanks for that!
I use policy analysis with Education students - and have a power point that
explores different ways of approaching policy that I can share - but I don't
want to bombard the list with it.
Best,

about using policy briefs as a teaching tool at undergraduate level.
