Dan Rothstein - Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions

Dan Rothstein from the Right Question Institute discusses the development and impact of the Question Formulation Technique (QFT). Initially inspired by parents in a low-income community, the technique aims to empower students to ask their own questions, fostering engagement and deeper understanding. The QFT has been adopted in over a million classrooms worldwide, with teachers reporting increased student ownership and curiosity. The technique challenges traditional teaching methods by shifting the focus from teacher-led questioning to student-driven inquiry. This approach has led to the exploration of a new theory of learning centered around question formulation.
