Creating a Policy Memo: Show, Don't Tell

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are writing a policy memo advocating for the implementation of a mandatory mentoring program for new teachers in your school district. Instead of stating that mentoring enhances teacher effectiveness, use specific examples and scenarios to illustrate how the lives of new teachers and their students improve through mentorship. Describe a day in the life of a new teacher being mentored, highlighting interactions, challenges faced, and ultimately, the growth experienced by both the teacher and their students. Ensure that your writing captures emotions and transformation without directly stating the benefits of mentorship.
