Advocacy initiatives can help teachers and their students showcase good music programs and the learning that takes place there. The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) offers a variety of advocacy and teaching resources on its Groundswell Advocacy website.
2013 has been an amazing year of progress for both NAfME and state MEAs in advocacy work. There has never been a better time to get involved with advocacy. Attend the webinar to hear about the exciting developments over the past year and learn about what’s coming up for 2013 and 2014, as well as how you can make a difference in promoting the vital mission of music education.
