Discovering and Influencing Outcomes: Policy Implementation in K-12 Arts Education

Abstract

As an active member of the Tennessee arts education ecosystem, ArtsEd TN has made it their mission to work toward creating access to arts education for all students. ArtsEd TN is faced with decisions about where to focus its efforts to achieve its mission. This project used a survey and interviews to collect the perspectives of stakeholders. The recommendations include that ArtsEd TN connect with public and non-profit partners to influence federal policy, continue implementing strategies to influence state policy, and invest in local policy and implementation.
