SUMMARY:Session B4. What Story Are We Telling? Reimagining Narratives Through Youth-Centered Practice 
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:\nDana Carr\, CEO\, The Creative Impact Group  \nThis session invites participants to examine how power\, identity\, and narrative shape the ways youth stories are created\, shared\, and remembered. By exploring which voices are centered—and which are missing—professionals will uncover how narrative choices impact program culture\, decision-making\, youth engagement\, and organizational equity. Participants will engage in immersive activities\, analyze real-world examples\, and practice tools to meaningfully elevate youth voice in ways that honor authenticity\, agency\, and belonging. This session guides participants toward practices that ensure young people are not only heard\, but positioned as co-authors of the stories that define their communities.

SUMMARY:Session B3. The Odd Couple: Data Collection and Arts Education
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:\nElizabeth Winkelhoff\, Data and Evaluation Manager\, DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative \nData collection is vital when telling an accurate story\, particularly in identifying whose story you’re telling and how to share it with a receptive audience. Identifying what you have and how to use it is a vital step in narrative impact work. During this session\, attendees will be led through a 101 on surveying and program evaluation techniques\, including ethics\, capacity\, and understanding their why. In the second half of the session\, attendees will participate in a “survey sprint”\, an activity in which they’ll design an in-person\, interactive survey with a clear goal using only the information and items provided. There is a difficult history of data collection in our sector. DC Collaborative strongly believes\, and has experienced firsthand\, that understanding the information your community is giving you is the best way to adapt to them\, and support sustainable growth in the arts. “Data” doesn’t only mean test scores\, it’s about impact\, it’s about holistic student experience. This session is in response to the oft-clerical evaluations\, and how it doesn’t need to be like that all of the time.

SUMMARY:Session B2. Lessons Learned Through Dance: The Impact of Our RAISE Program Grant
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nTara Bach\, Art Educator\, Washington Avenue School\, Pleasantville Public Schools\nLiz Winter\, Education Operations Director\, Young Audiences Arts for Learning of New Jersey & Eastern Pennsylvania  \nThis session offers an inside look at Washington Avenue Elementary School’s multi-year RAISE Program Grant\, implemented as a dance residency for third\, fourth\, and fifth grade students in a school without an existing dance program. While students learned technique\, style\, and discipline\, the heart of the project was the intentional space created for them to share their perspectives and craft their own narratives through choreography. We will explore the project’s approach\, the stories that emerged from both students and the teaching artist\, and the impact these narratives had on our school community. Central to the discussion is how storytelling through movement and reflection helped build trust\, strengthen relationships\, and establish alliances essential for sustaining arts-based learning. As the grant period concludes\, we will focus on how to carry this work forward: How can the narratives generated through this residency guide our next steps? How can they help us forge and sustain the partnerships needed to expand arts opportunities for our school\, district\, and community? Participants will leave with insights on leveraging narrative as a tool for collaboration\, continuity\, and meaningful program growth.

SUMMARY:Session B1. Expanding the Narrative: The PD/Residency Model
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nSherry Norfolk\, Teaching Artist\, Springboard to Learning\nMargaret Hassenstab\, Teaching Artist\, Springboard to Learning\nBrenda Butler\, Director of Program Facilitation & Operations\, Springboard to Learning  \nSpringboard to Learning (the YA affiliate in St. Louis\, MO) has implemented a practice\, inspired by the Wolf Trap Institute\, in which professional development (PD) is embedded in arts integrated residencies. This practice expands the narrative by forging and sustaining essential alliances in schools. In this model\, staff in schools or school districts participate in professional development training combined with a residency. After an initial PD workshop\, Teaching Artists are paired with host teachers for a residency to practice the skills and strategies learned in the workshop under the guidance of the Teaching Artist. The professional development continues inside of the classroom while the Teaching Artist works side-by-side with the teacher during a residency. In this session\, the presenters will give an overview of the model\, share an arts integrated activity\, and attendees will reflect on how they can implement the same strategy.
