Quest for Learning – Documents

Quest focuses on key learning priorities;

• Early cognitive development; and
• Social interaction.
• Communication underpins and is integral to both key learning priorities.

Good Practice for using Quest

• Make sure you are familiar with the seven key milestones (green).
• Focus on a learner and identify a key milestone.
• Check which is the next milestone. If beyond learner’s ability assume learner is working between two key milestones.
• Refer to the milestones in between key milestones and select starting point.
• Set up appropriate assessment activities.

Collaborative Process

• Record observations – video can be helpful for promoting discussion and agreement.
• Involve parents in discussions.
• Team around the Child, including parents and carers – include their knowledge.
• Review observations together.
• There may be differences of opinion on observations this is fine, it means you need to  explore further.
