Quest to Learn (Q2L) is a public middle and high school inNew York City.[2] The school is operated by theNew York City Department of Education and is located in theBayard Rustin Educational Complex in theChelsea neighborhood ofManhattan.

History

[edit]

The creation of the school was a collaboration between theInstitute of Play and theNew York City Department of Education, with backing from theMacArthur Foundation and support from New Visions for Public Schools.[3] The school began in the 2009–2010 school year with one sixth grade class, and added a new grade every year until 2015 when it became a fully functioning combined middle and high school encompassing grades 6-12. Game designer and educatorKatie Salen was one of the chief designers of the school.[4]

Curriculum

[edit]

Q2L's standards-based curriculum is developed collaboratively by teachers, game designers, and curriculum designers. Curriculum design mimics the design principles of games by framing every piece of the curriculum as a mission that involves game strategies such as collaboration, role-playing, and simulation. The school encourages hands-on problem solving,[5] and is designed to promote learning of skills many experts say are necessary for college and career success, such assystems thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy. Not only do students play games in the classrooms, they learn to make them in order to demonstrate their systems thinking skills.[4][6]

Quest to Learn emphasizes "7 Principles of Game-Based Learning":[7]

  • "Everyone is a participant",
  • "Challenge is constant",
  • "Learning happens by doing",
  • "Feedback is immediate and ongoing",
  • "Failure is reframed as “iteration”,
  • "Everything is interconnected", and
  • "It kind of feels like play".

Students

[edit]

Quest To Learn looks to engage their students through a unique learning style which incorporates games, hands-on activities, and collaborative activities. The student body is very diverse, with students having numerous cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

According to Brian Waniewski, the Managing Director of the Institute of Play in 2012, Quest to Learn's students "are performing at or above New York City-wide averages on standardized tests. In the first 20 months of the school’s operation, students showed statistically significant gains in systems thinking skills, according to a study fromFlorida State University.[8]
