Identify the situation you want to change. It could be anything from improving the playground to asking for parent volunteers to introducing a new discipline policy. Collect any materials that will help you document your teacher-led proposal.
Make notes to yourself about how you think the situation could be improved or corrected. Record the ideas as they come to you for future reference. Even if a thought seems minor, jot it down anyway as it may trigger another idea later.
Discuss the issue with your colleagues. Ask them what they think of your proposal and whether they are willing to support you.
Draft your proposal for a teacher-led change. You have done your homework properly and now you are armed with all the information you need to start writing your proposal for change. Write your proposal in clear, easy-to-understand English. Keep your sentences short and to the point. Stay focused on the issue.
Think of your target audience and write in a professional tone. Maintain an analytical approach and do not allow any personal emotion or criticism to creep into your report. Stay detached, even if it is an issue close to your heart..
Keep your proposal as short as possible. Identify exactly what it is you want to change, provide some background information as to why it is necessary and suggest how the problem can be resolved.
Leave the proposal alone for at least a day or so. Review your draft and make any appropriate changes. Be sure to check for typos, grammar and tone.
Ask a colleague to review your proposal and offer comments or suggestions. If it is appropriate, discuss your proposal at a staff or union meeting.
