As a high school student, the guideline I was given to write this blog post, “operationalizing access and equity in arts education,” sounds inaccessible within itself. I won’t lie, I had to look up what equity means (it means fairness). In my life, access to arts education is something I rarely think of as an idea; it’s something I’m accustomed to. I’ve had it for so long that I often forget that I fought for it.
Throwin’ it waaaay back to earlier this month when our awesome Democracyworks winner Salwa Meghjee ( Seminole (Florida) High School, Troupe 3266) wrote about the arts and empowerment on the Americans for the Arts blog. Don’t miss it!
