Hi Jeanne,

It is not enabled by default. You should go to Safari->Prefences, click on the Advanced tab and enable 'Show develop on menu bar'

Once done, you will see an additional menu called 'Develop' with all the options Safari offers for debugging etc. It is slightly different than Chrome (which Treehouse instructors use) but the basics are the same.
