Making Connections: Stories that reveal the impact of research, policy and practice
Building on AEP’s strong history of connecting the field to research, policy and practice, AEP launched a new communications initiative to support partner organizations’ efforts to make the case for arts education as a critical component of a complete education. Grounded in the four priority areas of the 2020 Action Agenda, the Success Stories project collects submissions from partner organizations highlighting successful arts in education programs.
