Question 1

What is the difference between the Scholar and Facilitator Editions?

Accepted Answer

The Scholar Edition is the student's copy. It contains the eleven weeks of reading, the project workbook, and the materials for the closing board meeting. The Facilitator Edition is the adult's copy. It contains the same weeks from the leader's side: what to assign, what to ask, when to wait, and how to run the board meeting. The two editions are designed to be used together. The Facilitator Edition also stands on its own as a curriculum for adults.

Question 2

Which edition should I buy?

Accepted Answer

If a young person is doing the work and an adult is leading them, choose the Complete Edition. It is both editions for $300 less than buying them apart. If you are an adult running the material on your own, the Facilitator Edition is enough. The Scholar Edition on its own only makes sense if a facilitator already has their copy.

Question 3

What do I actually receive when I buy?

Accepted Answer

Two PowerPoint files, roughly 200 slides across the editions. The Scholar Edition is one .pptx (the student deck for all eleven weeks). The Facilitator Edition is a second .pptx (the leader deck with prompts, board meeting protocols, and notes on what to do when the work is thin). The Complete Edition gives you both files. Nothing is shipped; everything is digital.

Question 4

How is the download delivered?

Accepted Answer

Right after checkout you are taken to a thank-you page with a download button, and the same link is in your account. Each click generates a fresh 15-minute signed link straight to the file. You can re-download anytime from your account, up to five times per file in any 72-hour window, which is plenty for switching laptops or sharing with a co-facilitator in your household.

Question 5

Why a PowerPoint file?

Accepted Answer

It is the format families and instructors actually use. You can open it on any laptop, present it on a TV, print the slides as a workbook, or edit it for your own group. There is no app, no login wall around the material once it is downloaded, and no subscription.

Question 6

How does a facilitator-led session actually run?

Accepted Answer

One adult — a parent, teacher, coach, or tutor — opens that week's slides in the Facilitator Edition and works through them with the student in a single sitting of about sixty to ninety minutes. The slides tell the adult exactly what to assign, what to ask, when to wait, and how to close. The student then does three to five hours of independent work across the week using their Scholar Edition. Week eleven closes with a roughly two-hour board meeting that the same adult runs from the deck.

Question 7

What does it actually mean to run a session with patience and noticing?

Accepted Answer

Patience means you wait when the student is stuck. You do not jump in to rescue them. Noticing means you watch what they do, name what you see plainly, and ask one good question instead of three vague ones. The Facilitator Edition tells you, week by week, what to look for and which questions to ask. You do not have to invent the prompts.

Question 8

What if the student does not finish the project, or finishes it badly?

Accepted Answer

Both outcomes are part of the method. A project that does not hold up under questioning is the most useful kind of feedback a young person can get, as long as the room responds honestly and without contempt. The Facilitator Edition covers how to run that conversation.

Question 9

Do I need any background in the four domains to lead this?

Accepted Answer

No. The four domains are lenses on the same questions, not specialist tracks. The Facilitator Edition gives you what you need to ask good questions in athletics, arts, real estate, and professional services without being an expert in any of them.

Question 10

Can I run this with more than one student?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The same Facilitator Edition works for one student or a small group of three to twelve. Each student needs their own Scholar Edition.

Question 11

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within the window described on the refund page. Because the material is delivered as a downloadable file, please read the refund policy before purchasing.
