Educate Up, Strengthen Your Program, Influence Decisions
The Leader Education Toolkit is your ready-to-use advocacy resource designed to help music educators confidently educate school leaders and decision-makers about the measurable impact of music learning. Whether you are seeking greater timetable allocation, stronger strategic support, or increased funding, this toolkit equips you with practical tools and research-backed messaging to shape conversations before decisions are made.
Instead of waiting for leadership to ask questions, this toolkit helps you proactively educate up, positioning music learning as essential to academic success, student wellbeing and long-term career readiness.
What’s Included
1 x 10 Practical Ways to Educate Up
A clear, actionable guide outlining ten simple but powerful strategies you can use to influence leadership conversations, strengthen visibility and build strategic alignment.
5 x Shareable Research Bites for Staff
Concise, evidence-based messages you can include in staff emails, briefing notes or presentations to help leadership teams better understand the cognitive and academic benefits of music learning.
4 x Shareable Career Outcomes
Research-informed summaries that connect music learning to future employability, transferable skills and workforce readiness, ideal for leadership discussions and strategic planning conversations.
1 x 5 Sequenced Professional Learning Activities from the BBB Educating Up Book
Structured activities designed to guide you step-by-step through building influence with leaders, helping you align your messaging with school priorities and strategic goals.
3 x “Imagine A…” Ready-to-Print Posters
Visually compelling posters that connect music learning to future career pathways and broader educational outcomes, perfect for leadership spaces, meeting rooms or presentation materials.
How to Use It
Use this toolkit during leadership meetings, strategic planning sessions and annual review cycles. Share research bites in briefing documents, display posters in leadership spaces, and use the professional learning activities to refine your message before key conversations. This toolkit is especially powerful during budgeting periods, subject selection phases and school improvement planning.
Why It Works
Leaders make decisions based on evidence, alignment with school priorities and long-term outcomes. This toolkit helps you frame music learning in exactly those terms. By connecting neuromusical research with academic achievement, wellbeing and career readiness, you position music as a strategic asset rather than an extracurricular add-on.
Equip your program with the Leader Education Toolkit and start shaping the decisions that shape your future.
