About the Authors

Focusing on the mind and its ability to seek answers to unknown or unanswered questions, this book's theory of educating provides the foundation for using V diagrams by students, educators, researchers, and parents. Teachers make lesson plans using V diagrams and concept maps and become expert coaches in guiding student performances. Students learn to enhance their knowledge by changing from question-answerers to question-askers. Parents share the learning experience with their children and the childrens' teachers and administrators.
