The teaching of policy analysis typically focuses on complex analytical & conceptual skills. This approach, however, does not take adequate account of the need for policy analysts to communicate their results to decisionmakers who are not necessarily familiar with such skills. Problems can arise from the organizational context, the problem definition & research design, or the presentation of results. Exercises for teaching appropriate skills include preparing short written & oral summaries, preparing charts & transparencies for visual presentations, preparing multimedia reports, dejargonizing reports, explaining methodological issues in nontechnical terms, role playing the clarification of problems with decisionmakers, restructuring research designs to involve decisionmakers as participants, preparing `talking papers' for decisionmakers, drafting press releases, & role playing decisionmakers' & policy analysts' perceptions of one another's situations.
