Policy is ever-present in the work of educators, but many educators are unfamiliar with policy ideas and policy engagement processes.
Members of the Policy ASPA have developed an E-Kit that addresses current music education policies and policy-related topics. These resources were designed to provide music teacher educators, in-service music teachers, and pre-service music teachers with information important for understanding and interacting with policy.
Each Policy E-Kit topic includes a short video and a handout. Please contact Carla Aguilar (caguil13@msudenver.edu) or Lauren Kapalka Richerme (lkricher@indiana.edu) with any questions or comments regarding the Policy E-Kit.
