Session F4. From Story to System: How Narrative Drives Arts Education Policy in Alabama
Ballroom CTogether we will explore how local stories from classrooms and communities can shape conversations with superintendents, legislators, and funders. Participants will practice combining data and personal stories to make a clear case for arts education and will leave with templates and examples they can apply in their own work. Through this process, we will look at how narrative helps build lasting relationships among schools, districts, and state partners and how shared stories can move systems forward.
