The Antenna Tool
Tune your messaging. A resource for Extension educators, public health professionals, and anyone creating educational materials for their community or classroom.
What is the Antenna Tool?
The Antenna Tool was developed to aid in the creation and refinement of educational materials created by Extension educators and public health professionals. It provides a structured framework for evaluating and improving how health and science content is communicated to different audiences.
Even though we developed this application for public health and Extension, the tool can be used by anyone hoping to create educational materials for their community or classroom.
To accompany the Antenna Tool, we developed a scoring guide. This guide further defines each scoring category and provides examples of how an item might score in each subcategory.
