I Own It!
is a 75-page facilitator handbook, guiding you through a 10-lesson curriculum designed to help students discover the incredible value of practicing accountability, responsibility, and ownership at school, home, and work.

Structured around eight “I Can!” statements such as “I can be accountable!” and “I can be a leader!” the I Own It! curriculum includes relevant discussions, reflection opportunities, classroom activities, and case studies to bring the QBQ! material to life.

Based on the best-selling book, QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, the curriculum’s foundation is the principle of personal accountability and the tool that helps us practice it, the QBQ. (click here for a tutorial on the QBQ tool.)

Easy to teach, fun to use, and life-changing for students, bring I Own It! to your school and classroom* today!

Since being introduced to QBQ!, I have been trying to “ask better questions” and my students noticed. I am so excited to bring the core concepts and strategies of the QBQ directly to my students with I Own It!
