Abstract	Policy development is fundamentally a process of negotiation. Legislation or other regulatory guidance often requires the support of a range of stakeholders to actually become policy. The resulting policy is therefore a compilation of interests, all partially represented in a final product that sufficiently satisfies enough key stakeholders to earn support. Too often, however, that product is incoherent, inefficient, and ill designed to meet the needs of the end users--the people or organizations charged with putting the policy into action. The LCFF Test Kitchen set out to address key policy design and implementation challenges in a different way--by employing an approach called user-centered design. An accompanying brief, "Improving LCFF Implementation Through User-Centered Design: Year 1 of the LCFF Test Kitchen," (ED596439) describes the LCFF Test Kitchen project, the process of user-centered design, and the products that have emerged from the work. This brief addresses a broader question: To what extent can user-centered design help us address these policy issues? This brief identifies lessons learned over the LCFF Test Kitchen's first year, and implications for a different approach to education policy. [Beginning in 2017, a project known as the LCFF Test Kitchen brought together a set of partners and three school district design teams to address the policy development and implementation process designed to foster innovation in local school districts as they implement LCFF. Azusa USD, Elk Grove USD, and Oceanside USD are the three local school district contributing partners to this project.] (ERIC).
