Policy Memo Rubric.pdf
Final Policy Memo #1: Out of the topic areas we have spent time in this semester (Energy/Environment, Crime/Criminal Justice, Poverty/Social Welfare, Health Care, Education, Immigration & Foreign Security) choose one topic area and a policy from that field to complete a strong, concise, and clear policy memo. Your policy brief should be no more than 2 pages. The attached Rubric will serve as a guide to my grading of your assignment.
The information below describes each section that should be in your policy brieft. Use the attached document as an example of how your policy brief should look.
The Policy Memo should follow the below format: Title – The aim of the title is to catch the attention of the reader and compel him/her to read further.
Executive summary – The aim of the executive summary is a “boiled down” presentation of your memo or brief’s main arguments which serves to convince the reader that the issue is worth in-depth investigation. It may be the only section of the memo/brief that the decision-maker reads, so you should make it count. It should contain:
The specific issue or problem addressed in the brief;
The most striking current policy failures;
Your recommendation.
You should write the executive summary last. It should be able to stand on its own to present the most important aspects of your argument.
Background / Context and importance of the problem – The aim in this section is to present the most striking facts or elements of the problem in order to convince your audience that they need to rethink the issue and ultimately change the current policy approach. As such, it usually includes:
A clear statement of the problem or issue;
A short overview of the root causes of the problem;
A clear statement, including evidence, of the significance of the problem.
Policy recommendations – A breakdown of the specific practical steps or measures that need to be implemented.
