Help Students Formulate Meaningful Questions
The Right Question Institute has worked with and learned from educators to develop a teaching strategy that provides a simple, yet powerful way to get students asking their own questions and building off their peers’ questions. As a member of the network, teachers have access to many free resources, including Experiencing the QFT, which describes the process and walks teachers through the institute’s Question Formulation Technique; Introducing the QFT into Your Classroom Practice, which helps teachers prepare to introduce their students to the Question Formulation Technique; and Introduction to QFocus Design, which provides tips on creating effective prompts. The institute’s website presents examples of the Question Formulation Technique from upper and lower elementary, special education, and high school. Joining the network is free.
