Organization description

The Right Question Institute (RQI) is a nonprofit educational organization offering a simple, powerful strategy that builds people’s skills to ask better questions, participate in decisions that affect them, advocate for themselves, and partner with service-providers. RQI’s innovative methods are delivered through educational institutions and organizations, health care organizations, social service organizations, community-based organizations, and public agencies all over the country and beyond.

Project description
Our project consists of three major deliverables: an online, asynchronous course hosted on Canvas called "Teaching Students to Ask Their Own Primary Source Questions," a Question Formulation Technique (QFT) and TPS-focused webpage on rightquestion.org that houses all of our resources and PL opportunities created as part of this project, and a series of 4 self-paced, on-demand modules available for free at rightquestion.org
