BE AN EFFECTIVE ADVOCATE
HOW TO BE AN EFFECTIVE ADVOCATE FOR QUALITY SCHOOLS
Whether it is through education funding, accountability, or teacher
quality regulations, education policy affects our schools and students.
For too long, these policies have been developed without full
consideration of their effect in the classroom. ASCD is working to
change that by helping educators engage in effective advocacy. The
resources in this guide and in the ASCD Action allow you to take action
to support effective education policy. This guide offers advice for
planning an advocacy campaign, communicating with policymakers, making
your voice heard, and ensuring your advocacy is effective and
efficient. Using ASCD materials and the tactics in this guide, you can
make the most of your time as an advocate. Even if you have only two
minutes to spare, these tried-and-true approaches will make sure you
are respected and effective as a go-to source for education policy. The
time for advocacy on behalf of students is now, and the voice needed is
yours. You may already be involved in efforts to change policies and
programs close to home, but your voice must also be heard on a national
level.
