From The Right Question Institute (www.rightquestion.org): Lucy Canotas, a 4th grade teacher in Manchester, NH, used the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) to learn more about what her students knew or did not know about fractions. “I’m interested to see what they can bring as questions to make me understand where they’re still stuck or what they still don’t know.” This video shows Lucy using a visual Question Focus to stimulate students’ questions. She leads her class through each step of the Question Formulation Technique, all the way through their reflections at the end on what they learned and liked about the process.
