The DBQ Project Approach

All of our lessons are inquiry-based and student-centered. As students grapple with a driving question, they read and analyze a series of documents. Ultimately, students draw their own informed conclusions about the central question. The process encourages students to take ownership of their learning.

  • Our Six-Step Method breaks down what is normally a complex process into manageable, concrete steps.
  • DBQ Online includes the DBQ Project's curriculum in an upgraded digital format.
