Public Health Issue
	Proficient 5 pts	Approaching Goals 3 pts	In Progress 1 pts
Public Health Issue 5 pts Issue is relevant and explained with current data. Students will introduce this issue as if speaking to a lay person.	Proficient Well-explained and relevant. Quality data helps tell the story.	Approaching Goals Adequate Explanation but lacking connection to current setting.	In Progress Missing data or explanation is vague/unclear
In-Class presentation to Peers 5 pts Each group will design a short, engaging presentation to educate their peers on the health issue: causes, impact, who is most affected (data encouraged).	Proficient Students are engaging, organized, informative.	Approaching Goals Students are mostly engaged and organized but may lack some detail or engagement.	In Progress Students are disengaged or disorganized, and not prepared to teach.
Policy Discussion 5 pts The current policies or gaps are discussed in the presentation. Students offer a proposed solution at the policy level Students identify key legislators, agencies, or leaders who have the power to influence or implement change	Proficient Clearly and accurately explains relevant current policies or policy gaps that relate to the issue. A well-developed, realistic, and policy-level solution is presented that aligns with the identified issue and gaps. Relevant legislators, agencies, or leaders are accurately identified with a clear explanation of their role and influence in shaping policy.	Approaching Goals Some relevant policies or gaps are mentioned but lack detail, clarity, or accuracy. A solution is presented but may lack clarity, feasibility, or clear connection to the issue. Some key figures are identified, but their roles or influence are unclear or only partially relevant.	In Progress Little to no discussion of current policies or gaps; missing or inaccurate information. No policy-level solution offered, or solution is unrelated or unrealistic. No legislators, agencies, or leaders identified, or choices are not relevant to the issue.
Summary and Flyer 5 pts Students write a 1 page summary and create a handout or visual aid (flyer, infographic, slide summary, or policy brief) that can be shared with elected officials and the media.	Proficient Summary clearly and concisely presents the issue, proposed policy solution, and call to action in a way that is appropriate for elected officials and the media. Visual aid is professional, visually engaging, accurate, and effectively communicates the key message in a format suitable for public use. Language, tone, and content are clearly tailored to the intended audience, with an appropriate balance of information, persuasion, and clarity.	Approaching Goals Summary includes some relevant content but may be vague, wordy, or only partially focused on the audience. Visual aid is present and somewhat effective but may be cluttered, lack visual appeal, or include minor inaccuracies. Some attempt to tailor materials to the audience; tone or focus may need refinement.	In Progress Summary is missing, unclear, or lacks relevance to the issue and audience. Visual is missing, overly text-heavy, or confusing; not suitable for public distribution. Materials do not consider the target audience (e.g., officials or media); tone or content is inappropriate or ineffective.
Communication Component 5 pts Students turn in an example communication – letter to legislator, post on social media, or meeting talking points. Explain why the chosen recipient (leader) matters to this issue and how to contact them Brief application of the ANA-C 6-Step Advocacy Framework	Proficient Communication is clear, persuasive, well-organized, and appropriate for the format (letter, post, or talking points), with a strong connection to the advocacy issue. Clearly explains why the chosen official or leader is important to the issue and how they can be contacted (e.g., office, email, social handle). Clearly and correctly applies the ANA-C 6-Step Advocacy Framework to the issue and proposed strategy, demonstrating understanding of each step.	Approaching Goals Communication is present and generally appropriate but may be vague, lack polish, or need stronger alignment to the issue. Identifies a relevant leader and attempts to explain their role; contact information may be incomplete. References the framework with some accuracy; may miss or underdevelop one or more steps.	In Progress Communication is missing, incomplete, or poorly structured; lacks clarity or persuasive intent. No rationale provided, or explanation is inaccurate or unclear; contact info missing. No or incorrect reference to the framework; missing steps or misapplied.
