TIME TREK: The Planning Quest
Preview: First Lesson Video
Imagine Your Teen Confident, Productive, Motivated
Your teen would be unstoppable! It won't really matter what he knows about chemistry or history or algebra if he's not confident, productive, or motivated. These are the outcomes they really need from their high school education. And, the outcomes traditional education is often failing to produce.
Enter the Self-Directed Success Quest program. Designed to build competency across 12 key skill areas: Planning, Organization, Time Management, Task Initiation, Working Memory, Metacognition, Self-Control, Attention, Flexibility & Perseverance, Effort & Challenge, Respect & Communication, Study Skills & Critical Thinking.
Self-Directed Success Quest
how it works: The Course
Engage, Learn, and Level Up!
When Quest Level 1: Time Trek begins, students will dive into engaging story-driven lessons that bring the Self-Directed Success skills to life. Each lesson is paired with actionable tasks designed to demonstrate and reinforce these skills. To advance, students must complete these tasks, some of which require them to submit evidence of their work. This evidence is reviewed by their "ChronoMentor" (a.k.a. Success Coach) for feedback and approval. Once approved, students earn experience points (XP) and move closer to mastering the current level and progressing to the next.
-
XP and Level Progression: Each level has a set XP target that students must reach to unlock the next stage. The tasks are designed to be meaningful but manageable, ensuring students can make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.
-
ChronoMentor Support: If students encounter any challenges or need assistance, they can easily reach out to their ChronoMentor for guidance via messaging. The ChronoMentor is there to help brainstorm, offer solutions, and keep students on track.
Group Coaching Calls
Weekly Peer Connection and Support
For 10 weeks, students will connect with their peers in weekly Zoom calls, guided by their Self-Directed Success Coach. These sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging, featuring fun group challenges, expert guidance, and Q&A opportunities. It’s not just about learning—it's about building a supportive community where students can share their progress and stay motivated together!

Why Choose SElf-directed success
QUEST?
1
The Method
Our innovative Quest program engages teens in a fantasy video-game-like story with clever, but real-life challenges the student passes to earn XP and move on to the next level.
2
The Stage
Teens are at that life stage where they generally resist taking advice from parents, especially regarding self-management. Let them instead learn from a gamified course with personal feedback from a specially-trained Self-Directed Success Coach.
3
The Reason
In today's world, Self-Directed Skills like time management, planning, and task initiation are foundational to success in any endeavor in life. Information is ubiquitous, but knowing how, when, and why to use that information is the aim; self-efficacy, the goal.
4
The Impetus
Empowering your teen with mastery of the 12 Self-Directed Success Skills sets them up for a fulfilling, meaningful life. And, the sooner they incorporate them into their life, the sooner they'll gain the confidence that leads to motivation, purpose, and direction.
