K20 QUEST Audition Information and Audition Script

​

Background

The K20 GEAR UP for LIFE (Learning and Investigating Future Education) project is a partnership between the K20 Center for Educational and Community Renewal (K20 Center) and 28 high-poverty, mostly rural schools located in 23 Oklahoma school districts. The partnership seeks to directly impact 8,258 students through a 7-year project beginning with 6th and 7th grades in October 2023.

 

QUEST App

The QUEST app is being developed to offer support for both parents and their students as they navigate post-secondary education options. The QUEST app is a micro-learning app that provides timely support for parents as their students progress through secondary education. The K20 Center is developing a combination of video, animation, and interactive elements to engage parents and support micro-learning through the QUEST app.

 

Character Roles

The K20 Center is seeking actors that are representative of our diverse group of parents. These actors would be part of a pool of actors that would be included in a variety of courses developed for parents. Currently, the K20 Center is seeking bilingual, native Spanish speakers male and female ages 30-50 to contribute to Spanish language QUEST videos.

 

Compensation

QUEST video shoots primarily take place on the OU campus and last for a half day. Compensation for these video shoots is offered at a rate of $250 per half day. As lessons are continually developed, we plan to rotate through a pool of actors. This project is ongoing over the next 5 years, and we are seeking actors who are available to work multiple video shoots within that time period.

Cuando su estudiante empieza a pensar en su vida después de la preparatoria, surgen muchas
preguntas. ¿Qué tipo de trabajo le gustaría tener? ¿Qué estudios o formación necesitará?

¿Cuánto costará y cómo lo pagará?

Es útil explorar estas preguntas juntos.

Cuando investigan juntos, también está modelando habilidades que su estudiante puede utilizar
para encontrar información y tomar decisiones con confianza
