About This Lesson
In the lesson, “Just What is Executive Action? A Lesson from the Principal’s Desk,” students will apply inductive reasoning skills about individual school policies that are determined by the principal in order to understand what execution action is and its limitations. Students will apply their knowledge of school policy in order to define executive action in their own words. Students will also closely read a policy report Executive Grants of Temporary Immigration Relief, 1956-Present and determine what it means to enforce the law humanely.
