Dan Rothstein, co-founder of the Right Question Institute and co-author of Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions, will be delivering a keynote session and breakout session at a Kentucky Educational Development Corporation (KEDC) conference. This is a closed event.
Details about the sessions are as follows:
Keynote Session: Making Innovation Easier
The session will include:
- A discussion of the origins of the Right Question Institute
- An active, collaborative learning experience using the Question Formulation Technique that will allow you to do your own creative thinking about persistent challenges and barriers to innovation and change
- A discussion of lessons from decades of work at the Right Question Institute and identify specific obstacles to change and how to overcome them
- An exploration of relevant student work examples from educators in Kentucky and beyond demonstrating the power of students learning to formulate their own questions in more than a million classrooms around the world
- A closing argument about the importance of questioning now more than ever
- Opportunities for reflection
Dan will also share a key moment in his own education, at Seneca High School in Louisville, that helped him think more deeply about getting to the right question before he went on to study at Harvard College and get a doctorate from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Breakout Session: A conversation and exchange about how to promote educational innovation
We invite educators who have prior experience using the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) to join co-creator Dan Rothstein for an informal conversation about what you have learned and what you are still discovering about what assists and what obstructs implementation of an instructional shift that can transform learning.
