STEP TWO: Develop Context: how do these stakeholders interact with one another? Do they have the same interests, attitudes, or ideas? What do they agree on and what do they disagree on? Pick one of the debates from the first page and develop a profile for each stakeholder: what are their commonly held values, objectives, or beliefs? What kinds of information or experiences get factored into their decisions?

 Music Program

#1
 The music department at the middle school will consist of teachers and staff members that work with the students and have some say with what happens to the music programs. If the music program is cut then these staff members would lose their jobs at the school so in order to keep their jobs it’s in their best interest to reconsider the music program cuts. These people also work with the students and are able to get their input on the music program cut and how it could affect them.

#2
Board of Directors have a large say in what happens in the school curriculum. They basically organize how a school should be run and if influenced, can contribute a lot to a cause. They want to run an organized school and they normally try to incorporate many different areas into there decision based choices. They have a large amount of power when it is concerning how a school is ran.

#3
The superintendent often known as chief education officer and they have pull on what happens to the school system. They have a large oversight of what happens at the school and they take care of large business concerning the school. If they were to be influenced they could bring up the music cut to the board of directors. They generally want their school system to be running smoothly and if the budget allows they can come up with ways to keep the program.

STEP THREE: Research: What would be the best method to represent or address these perspectives in a proposal essay?

#1 Talk about how people in the community will lose their jobs if the music program is cut. Not only teachers, but outside tutors and instrument shops that helped the school and kids in acquiring instruments and helping the students learn their skills. Often times these people go through the school to get students to teach and sell to but if the school drops their music programs then the tutors and shops will not have the ability to offer students correct teaching and instruments.

#2
The proposal essay could incorporate how learning an instrument can help flex students cognitive abilities and how reading and playing music can be beneficial to the schools educational system and academic achievement. Finding studies done on music education in schools can help this argument and will help the essay with it’s credibility.

#3
The essay can talk about how music is an outlet for students and that for some students it’s a way to keep them out of trouble and that drug and alcohol abuse are lower in schools that have music programs. Helping kids get through life is an important part of school programs and with music kids can express themselves in non-harmful ways.
