Teacher comments after using QUEST
"The benefits for me (as a teacher) is that I can promote autonomous learners and learning. It makes my job a lot easier as it is like having more teachers in the room." Hollie (Level 2 and 3 teacher)
"The progress with Joe is significant, he is very analytical anyway, but what he has done now is explored more in depth issues. His English skills have significantly improved as he is using a range of verbs in his work now!" Ceri (Level 2 and 3 teacher)
"At first I implemented it with a group discussion based on their assignment. At first, by them looking at the beginnings of QUEST, they struggled, but when I took the QUEST cards away from them and asked them to just talk to each other, it worked! The evidence was proved - one learner actually submitted a much higher grade then normal. When I asked her how it helped, she said that she found the “talk” good (QUEST) and she actually took lots of notes to help!" Donna Mitchel (Level 2 and 3 teacher)
