With Foreword by Heidi Hayes Jacobs

It's crucial for 21st century teachers and students to determine together what a student will learn and at what pace. This book dives deep into quest learning, a customizable inquiry model tailored to a student's interests, needs, and abilities. Learn how to use questing to engross students in emotionally gripping learning experiences, engage them with actionable goals, build 21st century skills, and promote collaboration in online and physical spaces.

Learn how to motivate students using the education quest model:

• Foster students' 21st century learning by engaging critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and self-direction.


• Form learning partnerships with students that lead to co-teaching and co-learning.


• Explore the three main design types through which students can quest to learn: (1) inquiry, (2) network, and (3) game.


• Investigate the guided inquiry design decisions involved in identifying a quest, determining checkpoints, and helping students reflect on their quest.


• Use formative assessment templates for engaging students in learning.
