Community partnerships help build global skills

What do you get when you combine Riverview High School students, Asian puppetry, the Florida Studio Theatre, Chinese language students from New College of Florida and the Ringling Museum?
My international baccalaureate visual arts students and Mandarin language students at Riverview, where I taught last year, got unexpected takeaways from our project, “The Aesthetics of Asian Puppetry.”
The project was created using an open inquiry model that teaches subject matter and executive functions such as self-management, critical thinking and perseverance.
