Tools

Red Flag's Tools are a set of practical instruments and routines through which higher error–prevention states can be achieved, in the short- and long-term. In most cases, they comprise individual skills or skill sets or competencies. The Tools booklet provides brief insights into how they work.

Learning

The main Tool is Learning. You will be learning about vital skills and how to maintain them.

• By the time you encounter Red Flag you have a considerable history of learning. Yet very few of us have ever had the learning mechanisms explained. (Perhaps it’s a bit heavy-duty to bring in at the Kindy and Primary levels, but … .)

• If you were going to operate a machine as part of your professional duties – a plane, for example – then you’d expect to be taught a lot about how it works. You'd especially be interested in the critical and/or dangerous stuff.

• In The Tools, Red Flag makes up for that deficiency. You can learn about learning, and then apply it to better decision making in your line of work. The idea of exercise for cognitive fitness is part of that learning, as is the need for continuous cognitive exercise.
