For Students and Teachers

America's Legislators Back to School ProgramBack to School Program is sponsored by the National Conference of State Legislatures, this program brings senators into the classroom to visit with students about lawmaking and democracy. Since the program's inception in 2000, Nebraska senators have visited tens of thousands of students across the state.

This is a unique curriculum that teaches students about the nation’s only unicameral legislature.

Unicameral KidsUnicameral Kids is designed for use in a classroom of fourth-graders. Featuring fun facts about the Legislature, the site prepares students for an upcoming field trip to the Capitol.

The Unicameral Youth LegislatureUnicameral Youth Legislature combines a legislative simulation with leadership-building and social activities to help young Nebraskans better understand the workings of our representative democracy. The youth legislature, designed for high school students, takes place at the Nebraska State Capitol and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Named for the late Sen. Jerome Warner, The Warner Institute for Education in Democracy is a collection of civic education programs provided to teachers and students across Nebraska. It is hoped that students who participate in these programs will gain a greater understanding of their role as citizens and an appreciation for representative democracy.
