Policymakers Build Bridges
Southwest Educational Development Laboratory
http://www.sedl.org/policy/insights/n13/welcome.html
In 1998, the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory implemented a program named “Calling the Roll: Study Circles for Better Schools.” This program was designed to engage policymakers and community members in meaningful conversations about issues related to school reform through the creation of community based study circles. This issue of Insights, a SEDL newsletter, outlines the achievements and successes of this program, specifically detailing “what policymakers who participated in the study…had to say about this method of connecting with their constituents.”
