About This Lesson
County Solutions is a nine-step process for creating an action plan to resolve a community issue. In this series of lessons, students learn about current events, the role of local government, and the variety of outreach methods available to average citizens working to influence public policy. This document will assist you in selecting community issues and preparing to use County Solutions with your students. The Public Policy flow chart is helpful in showing the ‘bigger picture’ and is used throughout the project.
