Trainers use this website to post working files for the Improving Thinking Skills Module. A comprehensive Trainer's Manual is being compiled from these working files. The polished version of the manual will be completed by Spring Term, 2004. At this point, it is a work-in-progress, but feel free to explore the contents.

The working files, posted below the manual, are at various levels of completion as indicated by the last update which appears in red on the right-hand column. Files in green are ready for inserting into the manual and for printing by OPDS in preparation for the next open training.

All files are formatted as MS Word documents or PDF. To read PDF files, you will need to download Adobe Reader. For the free version of Adobe Reader, go to: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
