The Right Question Institute (RQI) is excited to launch our campaign to ensure that the Question Formulation Technique is used to develop students’ thinking abilities and curiosity in a million classrooms by the year 2020. Our “Million Classrooms Campaign” is part of a larger project made possible with the support of a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation for “Activating and Demonstrating Greater Curiosity by Learning to Ask Questions.”
We are announcing the launch of the campaign this week as part of “Question Week,” an international celebration of questioning and curiosity spearheaded by Warren Berger, the author of A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas.
The “Million Classrooms Campaign” builds upon the hard work of what can only be described as an “educator-led movement” to deliberately foster the ability of all students to ask better questions. In the four years since Harvard Education Press published Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions in September 2011, the Question Formulation Technique, without any requirement or mandate, has been embraced by educators in more than 100,000 classrooms all around the world. As the book continues to be one of Harvard Education Press’ all time best sellers and as the Right Question Institute continues to provide strong support and online resources (www.v1.rightquestion.org), we expect to see far more classrooms from coast to coast and beyond readily using the Question Formulation Technique.
