This Overview is part of the Succession Planning for Literacy and Basic Skills Agencies and Networks - Toolkit, available at: http://library.copian.ca/item/8611.
This guide was developed for the project “Supporting Apprenticeship Completions: A Model of Service Provision.” Funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU), the project’s objective was to develop ways to help those who start apprenticeship programs in remote Northern Ontario communities to complete the programs and get their trade credentials.
In 2007, Ontario’s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities convened a working group to develop a framework for assessing Learner Skill Attainment (LSA), one of MCTU’s nine draft measures for deciding how effectively agencies are performing.
This report describes a review of the training and certification system used by Laubach Literacy Ontario (LLO) to ensure that tutor and trainer competencies required by all levels in LLO’s current certification system were identified. The project, which began in January 2009, was considered one of the affiliated projects in support of the Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum initiative.
This booklet complements Integrating Essential Skills into Literacy Training – Final Report.
The authors have included eight sample activities using authentic workplace materials provided by the two employment partners involved in the two-year project. The sample activities can be adapted to meet individual learner needs.
This report summarizes a two-year project aimed at incorporating essential skills into training for volunteer tutors across Canada. The project was undertaken by Laubach Literacy Ontario, in partnership with Literacy Volunteers of Quebec and Laubach Literacy New Brunswick and with input and feedback from two employer partners.
The report sets out the process for ensuring the continuity of good literacy and basic skills service in a community as new members join a Literacy Community Planning (LCP) committee. This “succession planning” involves making sure that crucial history, information, initiatives and decisions are documented.
As managers of Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) agencies approach retirement, the issue of succession planning becomes increasingly important. This report provides tools to allow LBS agencies, both large and small, to continue serving learners while implementing staff replacement resulting from retirement, transition or unforeseen circumstances.
This report discusses a project that was part of a multi-year effort to review and implement the MTCU initiated “Practitioner Training Strategy”-to develop an integrated practitioner training and recognition approach that supports high quality delivery of the Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) Program, through four phases.
The purpose of this manual is to provide readers with a set of general policy and procedure templates that should be considered, adapted and modified as required for use in a Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) program. A template is meant to be a guide or a pattern that can be used to "shape" your work. These policy templates can be used as the starting point for drafting policy in your agency.
