The Lied Centers mission is to transform lives by educating, inspiring and entertaining the people of Nebraska through the performing arts.

The Kennedy Center Partners in Education Program

Since 2001, the Lied Center has collaborated with the Umonhon Nation School (Macy), Nebraska and with the University of Nebraska-Lincolns College of Education and Human Sciences (Lincoln) to develop ongoing professional development for K12 teachers. A planning team develops program objectives annually and meets quarterly to plan activities, review goals, evaluate progress, and celebrate success. Research results were recently featured in a national publication as one of six success stories selected from more than 100 Kennedy Center Partner in Education programs. The Kennedy Center National Partnership Program assists arts organizations throughout the nation in developing educational partnership with their local school systems. The purpose is to establish or expand professional development programs in the arts for all teachers. The program is based on the belief that educating teachers is an essential component of any effort designed to increase the artistic literacy of young people.

K12 teachers and teaching artist workshops

The arts are effective tools for teaching core subjects such as math, science and reading/language arts. Through this approach all teachers learn how to engage students using arts integrated strategies, directly addressing school and students needs in literacy, computation, fluency as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills. Addressing K12 national and state education standards in the arts and core subjects is an essential aspect of this approach.
