Group Assignment: Advocacy Strategy Slide Presentation

Course Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluate the role of advocacy in the formation of social policy for social work populations.

2. Investigate how social media has changed social workers' ability to impact change in policy.

Purpose:

Developing an advocacy strategy is one of the founding principles for change of policy in government. A legislative strategy is needed to present a position for policy change supported by subject matter experts. Each of these elements can be effective on their own for policy change, but coordination of more tools will bring an increased focus to the issue and a systems approach to creating awareness of the needed change. This slide presentation (PowerPoint or Google Slides) assignment will help students understand systems work needed to create change in legislative policy. Students are expected to develop an advocacy strategy based on their group's topic of policy decided upon.

*Online students: One person from your group will post their group's work in the Blackboard dropbox for this assignment.

*Blended students: One person from your group will post their group's work in the Blackboard dropbox for this assignment, but will also be presenting their tools in class

Please read the assignment in its entirety prior to initiating the activity.
