Discussion: Educator’s Role in Policy Development
In this Discussion, you will examine the role of a special education leader when a federal policy must be implemented in a local setting. Successfully implementing a federal policy into local practice is affected by how well local leaders develop and sustain two critical features: resource support (or capacity) and the motivation (or will) of the responsible implementers activating the policy locally. You will base your discussion post on an interview you will conduct with a special education leader who has implemented a federal policy in their local setting, and the experiences and actions the leader provided to assure resource support and motivation to successfully implement the policy.
To prepare:
· Review the module Learning Resources related to policy development and implementation.
· Identify and interview a special education leader who has participated in policy development, policy implementation at the local, state, or federal (country) level, or both.
· Use the following questions as a starting point for your interview:
o What is your role in the field of special education?
o What problem(s) led to the development of the special education policy with which you were involved?
o What role did you play in ensuring effective development or implementation of the policy at the local, state, or federal level?
o What advice could you provide about the policy development or implementation process and the successful implementation of policies at the local, state and/or federal level?
A brief summary of your interview including the role of the leader and context in which the leader is employed. Be sure to use the answers to your interview questions when drafting your summary. Then, answer the following:
· In what ways did their experience align with the readings and resources in this module as it relates to policy development, implementation processes, or both? In what ways did it not align and how?
· What do you believe was the most important piece of advice the special education leader shared that you believe would benefit future special education leaders in policy development, implementation, or both?
