This session will focus on effective strategies for organizing, collecting, interpreting, and sharing tangible evidence about our music education programs. The objective is real time accountability for what we do and who we involve. How our students perform in our classrooms, and beyond, is a critical component in transforming advocacy to meet the increasing demands of the 21st century educational arena. (No Handout Available)
