Abstract
In this paper, monitoring an agency's regulatory environment—a subfield of policy analysis—is identified, the utility of policy analysis for local administrators is argued, and suggestions for incorporating policy analysis assignments into fieldwork instruction are offered. A distillation of four popular policy analysis frameworks is applied to a series of Senior Aides guidelines. Policy analysis applications are then discussed from local agency and social work field instruction viewpoints.
