Teaching the Bureaucracy

Honestly, any organization dealing with policymaking has endless challenges. This is because one policy is never going to please everyone. However, it is essential that students understand that people collaborate and compromise to do what they perceive is best for individuals. So, when teaching the bureaucracy, it is essential that students understand this. Thankfully, the Bureaucracy Project and Bureaucracy Lesson provide a fantastic way for students to dive into the intricacies. 

Bureaucracy Project 

You will accelerate and engage your government students with this incredible project! 

Students will select a regulatory agency or commission. Then, they will discuss its creation and what it hopes to accomplish. Students will even explain how it contributes to the functions of the U.S. Government and its role within the executive branch. Additionally, they will explore how it benefits the public, whether this is directly or indirectly. Students will love having a say over their selected agency as they dive deep and critically analyze their findings. 

This resource includes the project assignment, lesson plan, and rubric. While teachers can edit anything, they don’t have to! Whether implementing as is or making a few tweaks, students will love learning how the U.S. Government operates.
