| Submission declined on 26 February 2025 by Flat Out (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Education and career
[edit]Rothstein graduated from Harvard University with a degree in social studies in 1977. He earned an Ed.D from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1985.[2] He remained a postdoctoral fellow at Ben Gurion Research Center in Israel from 1985 to 1986.[3]
Rothstein began his career in 1987 as a director of Neighborhood Planning in the City of Lawrence.[4] In 1990, he co-founded the Right Question Project, which was later renamed the Right Question Institute. The RQI developed the Question Formulation Technique (QFT), a structured approach to teaching individuals how to ask questions effectively. This method has been integrated into educational curricula and used in training programs for educators, healthcare professionals, and community organizers.
Rothstein has served as a co-principal investigator for research projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). These projects include initiatives focused on STEM education and promoting inquiry-based teaching practices.[5][6][7]
