How to Write a Position Paper as an Approved Supervisor

Writing a position paper as an approved education supervisor can determine the future of your school. Position papers defend one side of a debated issue. The paper is supported with substantive and relevant data. If you are an education supervisor -- a principal, for example -- compose a position paper on an issue related to your expertise. It also helps to construct a paper on an issue with which you have a firm and defensible position. Present completed papers to county school board members or state Board of Education committees to encourage reform in favor of your point of view.

Instructions

    • 1

      Introduce the position. Write a position paper, for example, on the necessity of establishing academic summer camps in your district. Make the matter relevant by using real-life examples and available historical data. Identify the pertinent issues of the matter and the timely nature of taking a position. Clearly define your position to affirm academic summer camps by the end of the introduction.

    • 2

      Draft the body. Elaborate on introductory examples and data -- or use this data as a springboard into broader and more significant examples. Provide background data on the subject of successful academic programs in your district and state. Document facts and figures from supplemental data that support the claim to success. Debate both positive and negative considerations on the matter -- the educational reward versus issues of financial affordability, for example. Be sure your position -- the affirming position, in this matter -- is shown to triumph over any reason for detraction. The body encompasses the rationale of your position.

    • 3

      Conclude the paper. Reaffirm the strength of your position. Recap important examples and data from the body of the paper. Provide recommended execution strategies to implement academic summer camps and possible solutions to peripheral concerns.
