Normally I do not use the TPS Teachers Network to recommend or endorse professional development outside the TPS program, but I know many teachers who have successfully used the Question Formulation Technique when working with primary sources. Others want to learn still more about the QFT.

    The Right Question Institute is offering an online course from April 15 to May 5, 2019. You can find out more and register from the link in orange above this post.

    The course is open to: 

    • PreK-12 teachers across all content and subject areas
    • Administrators, curriculum specialists, and instructional coaches

    Cost is $199, and the course will require 10-12 hours of work. You'll get a certificate for 10 clock hours of instruction at the end.

    If you do register for the course, please let the members of this group know how you plan to use it when teaching with primary sources. Better yet, report back when you have used the QFT in your classrooms!
