Lincoln Center Institute
for Arts in Education
The Lincoln Center Institute works in partnership
with K-12 educators to develop experiential studies focusing
on works of art, including theater, music, dance, visual arts,
and architecture. Like Bank Street College, the Institute
challenges all students to learn about and through the arts.
The approach we share demonstrates the integral role that
the arts can and should play in education. It supports learning
across the curriculum, builds critical thinking skills, and
stimulates the perceptual abilities of young learners. As
a result, unexpected connections are made, alternative points
of view considered, complexities explored, and doors to new
and imagined worlds opened.
Bank Street is a partner in the Institute’s
Higher Education Collaborative, an initiative that explores
ways to cultivate education students’ imaginations in the
process of teaching and learning. The ultimate goal is to
enhance student learning by improving classroom instruction.
Through partnerships with teaching artists, Education faculty
and students participate in active encounters with works of
art, so they can interact with the art perceptually, affectively,
and cognitively while constructing their own meaning. Through
this process, the arts can come to play an innovative and
integrated role in learning across the curriculum.
