Community Impact Evaluation and Literacy Practitioner Impact Evaluation
In 2004, Literacy Alberta and Bow Valley College partnered to develop a two-part training course for practitioners working in the literacy field. The first part of the project involved the design and development of the course and the practicum, while the second part saw the delivery of a pilot of the course to 11 “literacy specialist” participants from 11 different Alberta communities.
This document is part of the “Connecting Literacy to Community” (CLC) project, undertaken by Bow Valley College in Alberta with the goal of helping agencies in three urban and three rural communities to identify specific literacy barriers, and to begin to either minimize or remove those barriers.
This handbook grew out of the Connecting Literacy to Community (CLC) project, carried out between 2001 and 2003 in three rural and three urban communities in central and southern Alberta. The purpose of the project was to work with communities to develop literacy awareness, promotion, and support, and to improve access to and the quality of existing services and programs.
The research project described in this document was part of the first phase of a larger initiative entitled “Connecting Literacy to Community” (CLC), undertaken by Bow Valley College in Alberta.
