This is the curriculum for a refresher course in document use, developed as part of a Nova Scotia initiative that includes an informal assessment as part of the apprenticeship registration process in order to identify candidates who need help to acquire the skills required to succeed in their programs.
In the spring of 2004, the Nova Scotia School for Adult Learning (NSSAL) consulted with representatives of community learning organizations across the province. Seven sessions were held with over 85 participants.
This document summarizes the results of these community consultations. The appendices include lists of participants and comments received during the sessions.
The portfolio process outlined in this resource was designed to give literacy practitioners a practical way to showcase student success. It is intended for use with the Nova Scotia Adult Learning Program (ALP) and the Intake Assessment Tools used in adult education classes throughout that province.
