This workshop will introduce educators to the Question Formulation Technique (QFT)—a simple, adaptable strategy that encourages students to generate, improve, and use their own questions to drive learning. While widely used in general education settings, this session will focus on strategic adaptations for students with language learning delays (LLD) and those in resource room settings. (GRADES 9-12)

This session will provide resources for teachers for best practices for student engagement, especially for multilingual learners and special education students.  Teachers will learn research based practices, but also resources to help them actively engage students in their classrooms.
