Educational Law Professional Development

Educational Law Final Project

The study of school law is a major component in school leadership preparation programs. Future school leaders need knowledge of the law as well as the resources to support their potential decision and policy making in various legal dilemmas. Thus, the final project for this course is comprised of two parts, a PowerPoint and an Educational Law Toolbox. The goal of this two-pronged summative assignment is to create a visual PowerPoint (that can be used for training staff and teachers) and to create a toolbox of legal and ethical resources that will support your role as an effective educational leader.

1. Part 1: Educational Law Professional Development Session.For this portion of the final project, you will create a PowerPoint based on your outline from Week 4. Using the instructor feedback from your previous submission, you will turn the outline into a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation (not including separate title and reference slides) in which you develop a policy proposal for implementing the changes that you seek.
   The purpose of this PowerPoint is to practice and gain feedback as you present introductory information on your chosen topic. Ensure that you are using graphics in a meaningful way and that you are using each section of notes (under each slide) to elaborate on the key points of your slide. The notes section is for you to be able to use it as a script for what you would say during the presentation.
   Format your presentation according to APA as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Including a reference slide with a minimum of five outside sources. Citations should be used on the slides as well as in the notes.
