The submissions are organized in sections based on the best practices they support. You can use the Table of Contents to search for a submission. In some cases, a submission supports more than one best practice statement so you can search in the Index, which provides links to all the best practices that a particular submission supports.

Each submission in the Resource Manual of Practical Ideas follows the same basic format, although not all headings will be included in each best practice. These are the headings:

• Title
• Submitted by – The practitioner’s position when they submitted the best practice.
• Best practices supported – Indicates the best practices that the submission supports.
• Curriculum links – Where appropriate, the best practices are linked to the Government of the NWT Adult Literacy and Basic Education Curricula.
• What you need – A list of supplies you will need
• How it works – Provides a description of the best practice and how it is done
• Web links – Links to internet sites are given where appropriate
