Why does it take so long for a public policy to be enacted? In this lesson, students take a deep dive into the six steps involved in creating public policy and the obstacles legislators may face when trying to get it passed. Students review a case study and policy-making scenarios to learn about stakeholders and practice viewing issues and their solutions from multiple viewpoints.

I find the materials so engaging, relevant, and easy to understand – I now use iCivics as a central resource, and use the textbook as a supplemental tool. The games are invaluable for applying the concepts we learn in class. My seniors LOVE iCivics.
