This manual is for PSY FPX 6020 Assessment 3, start to submission. Advocacy Action: An Outreach to the Community asks you to plan and present a community outreach, often a speech or presentation, that advocates for children around a policy such as the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act: explain the policy, set goals for the community, describe the planned action, the follow-up plan, and how effectiveness will be judged. The grade turns on an advocacy plan a community could act on. Clear goals, specific actions and a way to measure effect score above a description of the policy. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as PSY-FPX6020, and some courserooms print PSY6020; both point to this same Assessment 3. In current courserooms this assessment typically appears as "Advocacy Action: An Outreach to the Community".
One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.
How PSY FPX 6020 Assessment 3 is scored
FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:
| Level | What it means on a community advocacy plan |
|---|---|
| Distinguished | The community advocacy plan is specific to the organization or case, applies course concepts accurately with credible sources, and ends in justified conclusions or recommendations. |
| Proficient | The community advocacy plan is accurate, but the application or recommendations are general. |
| Basic | The community advocacy plan describes concepts with little application. |
| Non-performance | A required part of the community advocacy plan is missing. |
Explain the policy accurately and write for a community audience.

Our first action is a training night at the community center, run with the county child protective services office, where parents, coaches and teachers learn the signs of abuse and exactly how to report a concern.1 The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act funds state prevention and reporting systems, but those systems depend on neighbors who know when and how to use them.2 We will measure success by attendance, by follow-up surveys three months later, and by asking the county whether calls from our area change in quality and number.3
