Education Law Presentation Outline

This week you will create a detailed outline that will serve as the foundation of your assignment in Week 6. In the final week of this course you will use the information and feedback from this outline to create a PowerPoint or video presentation in which you practice creating and delivering a professional development session on educational law.
