Goldman-Carnegie Quest Program


The Goldman-Carnegie Quest Program is a three-stage effort that aims to explore and design “signature pedagogies” for the education of teachers, which place vivid representations of both teaching and learning-to-teach at its center. This initiative is supported with matching funding from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund.

Employing new possibilities available through multimedia technology, Carnegie is working with teachers to produce detailed, layered representations of their classroom practice through video, teaching materials, student work and reflective commentary by both teachers and students. In turn, faculty in teacher education programs use these materials in their classrooms, helping students connect theory and practice by seeing how a teacher’s work is shaped by its particular context and how it grows and develops over time. The work of teacher educators will also be captured through a parallel set of multimedia representations. Finally, teacher education students, working as new professionals in their own classrooms, will be able to replicate, extend and transform the practices they have seen in the work of others.

News and Announcements


In October 2006, the Quest Project launched Inside Teaching an online "living archive" of practice.


The site includes:

- a collection of K-12 and teacher educator Web sites;
- perspectives on the use of K-12 Web sites in teacher education;
- a "reading room" with related articles and Web sites; and
- a "workshop" designed to invite others to engage with the archive and make contributions of their own.
