Webinar: Empowering Teachers to Advocate for Federal and State Arts Education Policy

Empowering Teachers to Advocate for Federal and State Arts Education Policy

Recording Date: Tuesday, September 10, 2024

Earlier this year, the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), the National Art Education Association (NAEA), the National Association for Media Arts Education (NAMAE), the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), and the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) announced a new partnership—the Arts Education Alliance—to amplify the value of arts education through joint advocacy work led by Amanda Karhuse and the Advocacy and Public Policy Team at NAfME.

The Arts Education Alliance invites you to view this archived webinar to learn more about our cross-organizational collaboration and how we are working to ensure that a well-rounded education includes access to all five art forms. We share actions arts educators can take to make your voices heard at the federal and state levels. Additionally, we explore the collaborative work already underway by the Alliance, including advocacy to support education funding, legislation that strengthens arts access and participation, and examination of the National Core Arts Standards.
