02. Policy Analysis, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
EnACT
The process of policy analysis is t he most important thing that we learn in EnACT. The skill of recognizing how a policy was created, passed, implemented, and evaluated can apply later in students’ lives as active citizens. To do this, we utilize what is called the Policy Cycle. By comprehensively learning each step of the Policy Cycle and recognizing its use, students will be able to analyze policies that exist in the real world and be better adept to participate in political discourse.

EnACT
In order to be a successful member of society, one must be able to understand the way that our government functions. It is the civic duty of citizens to vote, and to do so in an informed way; it is also beneficial to understand how elected officials actually do their jobs. This module is meant to serve as a very quick breakdown of how the major components of our governments work so that students can approach policy in an informed matter.

EnACT
Economic policy is responsible for organizing government budgets, money supply and interest rates as well as setting levels of taxation. It also covers the labor market, national ownership, and many other areas of government interventions into the economy. Through the analysis of Trump’s tariff war with China, we can discover the relationship between the policy cycle and economic policies.

EnACT
Activism is one of the most effective ways to make change from a citizen’s perspective. It had a major role in ending slavery, promoting equality, protecting the environment, and many other relevant issues. This module explains social movements and how they work. It also goes hand in hand with Policy Analysis.

EnACT
Healthcare policy in the United States is aimed towards the costs of care for citizens as well as access to quality care. The healthcare system includes services provided by medical professionals in order to treat, diagnose, and prevent mental and physical illness and injury. There has been an increasing strain on consumers due to the rising cost of healthcare in the country.

EnACT
Policy based on the environment has been fluctuating significantly through recent history. Up until a few years ago, many people still genuinely did not believe in the process of climate change and the effect of mankind on the planet. While some people are still hesitant to believe that climate change is as important of a topic scientists are mostly at a consensus that climate change is real and an imminent threat to the planet.

As the year comes to a close, hopefully the students will feel as though they have learned a lot about interesting topics through EnACT. In this module, students will have discussions and/or structured debates on current events of the time. Possible topics will be added as the time approaches. Students will also fill out surveys to give feedback on the content, project, and EnACT as a program overall.

Foreign policy is defined as a government’s approach to dealing with other countries. Countries form strategies by creating relations with other nations that essentially support self-interest in each country. In the United States, the four goals of foreign policy are national security, international trade, world peace, and democracy to other countries.
