About the Author

After receiving their Masters degrees in education, Virginia and Cindy spent many years teaching in elementary school classrooms in the United States and Germany. In 1984, they joined forces in New Hampshire to create and implement a gifted and talented program for the Sanborn Regional School District. Because of the difficulties encountered by their high ability students in conducting research studies, they developed the Independent Investigation Method, a research model that was tested and perfected in their schools for 14 years. Their goal was to empower students of all abilities to carry out independent research studies. By 1998, the demand for their skills as trainers, authors, program developers, and consultants led them to full-time employment in their company.
