23. Quality Program: Quality Self-Assessment Tool (2012)
Series: Working Together for Adult Literacy
Authors: Government of New Brunswick
Collection: Research Materials
This Quality Self-Assessment (QSA) Tool was developed by the Community Adult Learning Services (CALS) branch of New Brunswick’s Department of Post-Secondary Education Training and Labour (PETL). It is part of a commitment to quality assurance outlined in the province’s 2009 adult literacy strategy.
The assessment tool is organized around eight elements of program and service delivery: management; planning; resources; social inclusion and respect for diversity; human resources; delivery; partnerships; and transparency and continuous improvement. Under each element, there is a list of quality indicators, which can be rated from one to four.
The authors suggest that the quality self-assessment process should be undertaken every other year, and does not necessarily have to be undertaken all at once.

24. Quality Self-Assessment – Pilot Project Summary Report (2012)
Series: Working Together for Adult Literacy
Authors: Government of New Brunswick
Collection: Research Materials
One priority identified in the adult literacy strategy released by New Brunswick’s Department of Post-Secondary Education Training and Labour (PETL) in 2009 was to ensure the quality and effectiveness of adult literacy programs.
The department’s Community Adult Learning Services (CALS) branch launched a quality initiative with the goal of developing a framework to guide the department and its partners in their efforts to understand, measure, and improve the quality of programs and services in the province. The framework was designed to apply to all adult Literacy and Essential Skills service delivery undertaken by or on behalf of CALS, including Community Adult Learning Network (CALNet) community-based programs; CALS Workplace Essential Skills (WES) Program; Laubach Literacy New Brunswick (LLNB) one-to-one tutoring services; and La Fédération d’alphabétisation du Nouveau-Brunswick (FANB) family literacy programs.
This document outlines a pilot project designed to meet one of the goals, the undertaking of mentored quality self-assessment pilots.
Between September 2011 and March 2012, four organizations around the province tested and evaluated the Quality Self-Assessment (QSA) process and the QSA instrument, submitting monthly progress reports and producing a pilot project evaluation report.
The authors note that all the organizations agreed that the QSA process provided them with a good snapshot of their adult literacy and Essential Skills program practices, along with fresh insights on pathways for continuous improvement.
As a next step, CALS will consider the feedback and recommendations provided by the project teams and decide on the actions to be undertaken to gradually implement the QSA process for all service delivery providers in the province.

25. Reading Indicator - A Guide for Employers (2009)
Series: Essential Skills Indicators - HRSDC
Authors: Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)
Collection: Learning Materials
The goal of this document is to help employers learn more about the reading skills of their employees by providing examples of Level 1 and Level 2 assessment questions. Using this tool allows employers to obtain information about the skills employees bring to the workplace; identify current employees’ training needs; and improve workplace training to target specific skill areas for improvement.
While the authors have based the questions on actual workplace tasks performed in a variety of occupations, specialized knowledge is not required in order to answer the questions.
The authors note that employers may want to give employees the opportunity to administer and mark the questions themselves.

27. Roots and Connections Instructor Guide (2008)
A culturally integrated ESL curriculum for community orientation in Alberta
Series: Roots and Connections Program
Authors: Sarah Apedaile, Dawn Seabrook DeVargas, Judy Carter, Wendy Illot, Rita Kerzinger, Theresa Brown
Collection: Learning Materials
This training guide has been developed to help instructors use Roots and Connections, an English as a Second Language (ESL) program aimed primarily at new Canadians who may feel isolated in Alberta’s rural communities.
The authors note that instructors using the program play three roles: ESL teacher; cultural bridge; and community connector. They have provided a self-assessment exercise to help instructors measure their strengths in each of those roles.
The authors also break down the facilitation process into six steps: assessing the learners; framing lessons using learning outcomes; building a lesson plan; reflecting on cultural considerations; connecting to the community; and preparing for the first class.
