The Ontario Native Literacy Coalition (ONLC) engaged in phase one of a field development project in 2001/02 to find out from practitioners what could be done to support them in their jobs. Practitioners clearly identified the need for a Field Development Worker to assist them in meeting the increasing demands of their positions.

This report is the result of the second phase of the project. Objectives included: improving the capacity of the ONLC to support its constituents; to support processes leading to the use of a holistic approach to native literacy, and supporting the development of learners and practitioners in native literacy.
