  2. Learners use skills, resources, and tools to draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge.
  3. Learners use skills, resources, and tools to share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society.
  4. Learners use skills, resources, and tools to pursue personal and aesthetic growth.
