Week 7: Presenting and Defending Policy Proposals
Changes are products of intensive efforts.—Muhammad Yunus, Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty
As a professional social worker and policy advocate, you will be called upon to make a difference in the lives of those who need assistance and can benefit from your expertise and experience. You will develop and defend policy proposals that must be creative and, ultimately, effective. Creating, presenting, and defending policy proposals can be challenging, sometimes frustrating, but also very rewarding when you have made a difference by persuading the policy makers to listen.
This week you will explore and analyze strategies for presenting policy proposals and strategies of persuasion to insure that your issues and items capture the attention of your targeted audience. Finally, you will produce a video presentation as a simulation for real-world policy leaders that summarizes a policy proposal you have created.
