Problem: Advocating for Policy Change, Many trends in early childhood education relate to policymaking at the state and federal level. In your role as an advocate, you may be called on to influence policy decisions. As your original post, write a one-page advocacy letter to a policymaker on a piece of educational legislation or an educational reform measure of concern to you. Use the correct salutation for writing a public official. Be positive, and establish rapport with the reader. Provide brief background on the issue. • State your stance on the issue. Suggest an alternative to the legislation that you oppose if applicable. Use citations and references in APA format and examples to support your arguments.
