Arts Education

Advancing Arts Education means addressing both quality and access. This year’s convention will focus on creating the best arts education and ensuring student access. Sessions will include lobbyists and national educators on No Child Left Behind; the most recent research on urban systems and arts education quality; workshops to identify your community needs and resources; local case studies in positive change; and major advocacy projects linking arts education to future workforce skills. This year, we are also offering the first-ever national convening for and by teaching artists. Participate in the series of sessions on Teaching Artistry to find out more about how-to’s on healthcare and join in conversations about core competencies. Peer-to-peer and expert-to-audience formats will deliver current and comprehensive arts education information that will help you to improve the quality of and access to arts education in your community.
