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. These stories demonstrate the benefits of arts integration across the education spectrum and promote continued collaboration and learning for individuals and organizations working toward student achievement and success.
