SUMMARY:Session E4. From Partnership to Impact: Building Sustainable Arts Integration Models with School Districts
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nDr. Mark King\, Vice President of Education\, Arts for Learning Maryland\nCharles Butler\, EIR Director\, Arts for Learning Maryland \nAcross the country\, school districts are seeking innovative\, evidence-based approaches to improve academic achievement\, pro-social behavior\, teacher retention\, and student engagement. Yet none of these outcomes are possible without strong\, trust-based alliances that begin at the school level. Teacher buy-in and principal support form the foundation of any successful district partnership. When a school community embraces a shared narrative of purpose and possibility\, they become the champions who carry that narrative upward into district leadership. This workshop explores how arts-integrated instruction\, when grounded in shared narrative\, becomes a powerful lever for systemic change. Drawing on a four-year Education\, Innovation\, and Research study in Math and ELA alongside practical experience coordinating teaching artists\, coaching structures\, and school-based implementation. Participants will examine how narrative functions as strategic connective tissue\, aligning teachers\, principals\, and arts partners toward a collective vision. Through testimonies\, planning tools\, and collaborative activities\, attendees will identify the story their community currently tells about arts integration and the story required to move the work forward. Participants will leave with a clear roadmap for designing or scaling arts-integrated programming—rooted in school-level partnerships\, supported by sustainable budgets\, and strengthened by a compelling alliance narrative.

SUMMARY:Session E3. Supporting Reflective Practice: Tools to Guide Teaching Artist Growth (Pt. 1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:Artistic Social Emotional Learning (SEL) intentionally embeds life skill development into artistic processes and practices in service of student empowerment\, to enrich both artistic fluency and human development. There is not one prescriptive way or technique to embed SEL into arts education. Led by the Center for Arts Education and SEL (ArtsEdSEL) team members\, this session will support participants with structured reflection on their practice and a better understanding of how their classroom can be a space for rich social and emotional growth through the arts. Teaching artists\, teachers\, and arts administrators will engage in learning experiences that facilitate a better understanding of their learning culture\, develop intention with routines and mindsets to organically build SEL competencies for students\, and build strategies that support student empowerment through the SEL Pillars of Identity\, Belonging\, and Agency.   \nIt is recommended that you attend this session if you are interested in attending Session F3. Artistic SEL Core Practices.

SUMMARY:Session E2. Beyond the Algorithm: Preparing Students to Think\, Feel\, and Create in an AI World 
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:\nIzzi Buikus\, Artist/Teacher/Coach\, Artfully Educate/University School of Milwaukee  \nWhen I first stepped into the art room\, I believed I was teaching students how to make art. Over time\, I realized something much more important was happening. In the quiet moments of threading a needle\, in the frustration of bending a wire that refuses to cooperate\, and in the calm of pouring wax into a candle jar\, students were learning who they are. They were learning how to handle struggle\, how to stay with a challenge\, and how to trust their own ideas. As AI becomes more present in our lives\, these human skills are becoming even more essential. Instead of technical skills\, students need resilience\, curiosity\, reflection\, and a sense of identity they can stand on. The art room has always been a place where these qualities grow. Now\, we need to nurture them with intention. This session shares stories from my journey as an artist turned educator turned instructional coach\, and from the real moments that often get overlooked in art class. Participants will leave with three practical tools: Name-Frame-Claim\, Creative Identity Mapping\, and the Resilience Studio Framework. Together\, these simple practices show how creativity prepares young people for a future that needs thoughtful\, confident\, deep thinkers.

SUMMARY:Session E1. Drumming Up Connections
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:\nCraig Norton\, Teaching Artist\, Arts for Learning Connecticut \nThis participatory musical experience will show how music\, specifically drumming\, is a universal language that connects all ages\, cultures and abilities. Within the drum circle\, countless narratives can be explored\, including curriculum connections\, social emotional learning\, and personal wellness. Multiple content-area and cultural connections will be shared\, and concrete examples will be explored hands-on; participants will discuss how to apply these principles to other art forms and curricular settings.
