Overview
About Connect
QUEST Connect is a gamified approach to social-emotional learning (SEL) built around the CASEL Framework of core SEL competencies. It is designed to give students additional instruction and practice in the skills they develop and apply while playing QUEST.
Teachers use Connect as extension activities, supplemental content, or as moments for reflection and application of learning during QUEST gameplay.
How It Works
1. Students play QUEST and immerse themselves in a gamified learning experience.
2. Students pick Connect modules to deepen their learning and build vital SEL skills that enable them to score higher during QUEST gameplay.

Outcomes of QUEST Connect
SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.
QUEST Connect enables students to acquire these skills, then immediately apply them to QUEST gameplay. Students become articulate, effective team-members capable of tackling the toughest challenges together. They gain confidence for problem-solving and a growth mindset that extends to their lives outside of QUEST.
QUEST Connect is included with every QUEST subscription.
QUEST Connect contains up to 12 hours of hands-on activities, guided discussions, journal prompts and brain breaks (short, usually physical, activities that emphasize connection).
Access QUEST Connect from the QUEST portal.
