Studio Q
A dynamic professional development program for the community of teachers, administrators, designers and curriculum specialists in a game-like learning model
Drawing from the best in current learning research, Studio Q provides professional development by focusing on the seven core dimensions of an educator. Specifically, the program seeks to support and develop educators as practitioners, systems thinkers, assessors, technology integrators, designers, wellness integrators and leaders.
These seven dimensions form the organizing principle for Studio Q, which includes an intensive induction curriculum for teachers new to a game-based learning model and weekly units that build on induction material for use throughout the school year. Studio Q treats professional development as collaborative, continuous, embedded in teachers’ daily lives and focused on student learning. There is a strong concentration on real-time performance-based assessments and purposeful technology integration.
Currently Studio Q is being tested and developed in the context of the Quest to Learn school in New York City.
