11. Policy Adjustments, Enforcements & Awareness
Freewrite Strategy
Consider these questions….or some of your own.
What needs to be done/changed/added
What evidence is this based on (examples of other district policies, increased problems, increased awareness, lack of issue being addressed due to date of initial policy).
Amy – this freewrite will probably end out the class period. Have them bring their freewrites back to class and they will begin with the identifying stakeholders and carousel brainstorming.

Who are the Stakeholders: Who needs to know about this issue?
