SUMMARY:Session G3. You’re Already Doing This: Simplifying Action Research and Integrating It Into Your Practice
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nSusanne Harnett\, Managing Senior Associate\, Metis Associates\nMatt Klepfer\, Research Associate\, Metis Associates\nNyla Guadalupe\, Research Assistant\, Metis Associates  \nThis session introduces the simplified IDEA approach to action research (Identify\, Design\, Enact\, Adjust)\, equipping participants with a tool to enhance the continuous improvement they already do. Educators already focus on continuous refinement and improvement of practices. Action research is simply a tool to more formally approach this refinement and tell the story about your growth as an educator and your students’ learning. Participants will learn the basics of formative assessment and action research—including how\, when\, and why to use it—and will have the opportunity to test the process.

SUMMARY:Session G2. Using Data to Shape the Narrative of Program Impact
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nDr. Amanda Mayes\, Data Research Manager\, Delaware Department of Education\nEllamonique Baccus\, Executive Director\, Arts Partners Wichita\nEsther Runck\, Program Director\, Arts Partners Wichita  \nIn this session\, we will examine the data from Arts Partners Wichita’s Assistance for Arts Education program. The goal of the program is to provide arts integrated education to 5\,000 students. Through visual art and music lessons\, coupled with the stories\, the program aimed to improve ELA scores and social emotional learning/work habits in elementary program participants. We will use the data collected as part of the program evaluation to begin discussing how data can be used to shape narratives around arts programming impact. We will discuss how different data points can be used to tailor discussions to a variety of stakeholder audiences. Participants can come with some of their own programming in mind and we will discuss how their data can be used to shape narratives around the impact of their programming.

SUMMARY:Session G1. Let's Play! Developing Arts Learning Programming Rooted in Creative Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nAlex Novak Foster\, Education Manager\, Arts for Learning Connecticut\nJed Kornbluh\, Director of Business Development\, Arts for Learning Connecticut  \nArts for Learning Connecticut (AFLCT) offers a session exploring the development of a new after-school program centered on creative expression and student-led learning. This presentation will guide participants through our program design process—from initial needs assessment and visioning to curriculum development\, staffing\, and implementation. We will share the resources and tools we’ve created to support teaching artists and school partners\, including adaptable lesson frameworks\, evaluation approaches\, and strategies for building equitable\, student-centered learning environments. Attendees will gain insight into our early outcomes\, challenges\, and successes\, and leave with practical considerations for building or refining their own arts-based after-school initiatives.
