The study guide encourages students to write or draw their thoughts and transform what they are learning into products and thoughts that make sense to them.

• A note-taking system called SmartNotes provides a method for students to manage, personalize and prioritize the information they are learning
• Lesson Challenges offer the opportunity to display knowledge and comprehension of the lesson just studied

Companions to the study guide include online interactive PDF of the SmartNotes and Learning Connections, which help make sense of the content, and Talking Point, Show You Know and Show You Can exercises that build meaning

In addition, the Check What You Know and Review on the slide presentation help reinforce what has been learned and also serve as companions to the study guide

The online learning environment allows students to access this valuable learning tool anytime, anywhere

The study guide aims to help students build a diverse set of learning tools by using seven Mindframes to present and practice the material. An Overview of the Mindframes is presented following the study guide Contents pages. The Mindframes bring a wholeness and balance to individual lessons as well as entire sections of the learning endeavor. Retention and transfer to the real world both increase as more of the mind is engaged.
