Abstract
Inquiry-based learning aims to engage students in the learning process by starting with student questions. By focusing on the big ideas of learning, students are able to meet curriculum expectations and expand their knowledge in ways that intrigue and challenge them. In this partnership, this is done by way of special units of study delivered through the relationship between a school and professional arts organization. This model fosters deep learning for all engaged participants by developing new programs in response to their questions and interests.
