Research Quest is for any 6th – 8th grade teacher working to advance critical thinking skills – outlined throughout the core curriculum - in his or her classroom. It is made up of three investigations that are tightly aligned with Utah’s new science and ELA standards http://researchquest.org/teachers/align.shtml and provides applied, authentic learning experiences for students. Research Quest allows students to practice the essential range of skills – communication, collaboration, and critical thinking - most necessary for academic and future success while supporting teachers in assessing student learning in responsive, actionable ways.
