SUMMARY:Session F4. From Story to System: How Narrative Drives Arts Education Policy in Alabama
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nAshley Lucier\, Executive Director\, Amp Up Arts\nKat Stoves\, Amp Up Arts Mobile Site Director\, Mobile Arts Council  \nIn Alabama\, the arts story is deeply tied to education and community change. Amp Up Arts\, a statewide collective impact 501(c)(3) organization and official partner of the Alabama State Council on the Arts\, has seen how storytelling can strengthen partnerships and influence policy. Working alongside the Alabama Governor’s Office and the Turnaround School Initiative\, Amp Up Arts uses narrative to highlight the role of the arts in improving engagement\, attendance\, and belonging in schools that need it most. This session\, led by Executive Director Ashley Lucier and Mobile Site Director Kat Stoves\, gives participants hands-on experience using storytelling as an advocacy tool. Together 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.  \n

SUMMARY:Session F3. Artistic SEL Core Practices: Foundations for Intentionally Embedding SEL in Arts Education (Pt. 2 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:Core practices are foundational\, research-based teaching and learning actions\, routines\, and strategies that support student learning and improve instruction quality. Effective teachers rely on core practices to advance learning and support consistent\, high-quality learning experiences for all students. Building on the results of artistic SEL professional learning associated with the Young Audiences RAISE project\, the ArtsEdSEL team conducted site visits to determine what artistic SEL looks like in practice\, then identified and labeled these common practices across observations as Artistic SEL Core Practices. This session will explore the practices through examples and facilitate opportunities for participants to translate these practices for themselves and their own teaching context.  \nThis session will build on Session E3. Supporting Reflective Practice: Tools to Guide Teaching Artist Growth.

SUMMARY:Session F2. In Response to Place: Personal Postcard Collage as Storytelling Practice
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nLaura Pasquini\, Visual Arts Program Navigator\, Arts Integration Co-Lead\, Anne Arundel Community College\nAmy Carattini\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Arts Integration Co-Lead\, Anne Arundel Community College\nBradley Austin\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor of Geography\, Anne Arundel Community College\nAlex Colucci\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor of Geography\, Anne Arundel Community College  \nThis hands-on session blends human geography and cultural anthropology to explore how people make meaning through the places they hold dear. Participants will engage in the “Personal Postcard Collage” activity developed by the AACC Arts Integration Hub\, reflecting a meaningful place and translating its landscape\, memories\, and emotional qualities into visual and written narrative. Grounded in an ethnographic lens\, the activity invites individuals to consider both a sense of place (what we notice and observe) and the meaning of place (the stories\, routines\, and connections that shape our experiences). Through collage\, symbols\, and a guided writing prompt\, attendees will create a two-sided postcard that communicates the essence of a place that matters to them. A final reflection activity weaves multiple postcards into a larger story of shared connection. This session provides an accessible\, arts-integrated structure that helps students and communities tell their stories through imagery\, descriptive language\, and shared reflection. Participants leave with a replicable model that supports narrative expression\, belonging\, and authentic connection across classroom and community settings.

SUMMARY:Session F1. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Using Art and Imagination to build a Narrative
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nTodd Shaffer\, Staff Teaching Artist\, Young Audiences of Louisiana\nRenee Benson\, Director of Strategic Partnerships\, Young Audiences of Louisiana  \nIn this workshop\, we plan on showing alternative ways for younger students to engage with works of art using their imagination and games. The idea of using play to discovering and engage with works of art. Students using only imagination may actually jump into a painting and describe the weather or touch objects\, describing how they feel or pretend to be the artist and paint the actual works of art\, learning how to mix colors\, painting with multiple tools\, and learn key terms about the medium. With these techniques\, students will be able to imagine and create multiple narratives\, expand vocabulary and learn story elements all while quietly moving their body. These games are great for field trips to a museum or deep diving into multiple curriculums in the classroom. Landscapes\, portraits\, sculptures and abstracts all become adventures for the younger (and older) students. The best part is\, the only supply needed is a work of art and your brain!
