The mission of the 21st century is to prepare all students to meet the ever-changing needs of an information-based society, and be successful citizens. Paramount to this goal is the acquisition of life-long skills and application of learned knowledge. Students need to be encouraged to learn, communicate clearly, solve problems, utilize technology, appreciate aesthetics and serve as productive members of society. Making inquiry the centerpiece of learning brings about active participation and student engagement because this process is rooted in critical thinking and problem solving, not in predetermined answers to questions.

Utilization of Dianne McCune’s proven scientific process model transforms students into active producers of information rather than passive consumers.

Over the decades, Dianne McCune has dedicated herself to helping students reach their potential through inquiry-based, hands-on learning. Beginning with her own elementary education which was rich with inquiry, discovery and interactive hands-on learning McCune developed a facination and passion forexciting educational experiences for all learners. This passion for application of Inquiry throughout the curriculum was formerly conceptualized in her Ph.D. dissertation from Ohio University (The Effects of Intergrating Blooms Taxonomy and the Scientific Method on Critical Thinking, Achievement and Attitudes Toward Science).

She's taught this process to teachers across the country and around the world— gaining the respect of the educational community and helping thousands of students make the most of their minds...and their lives.
