This document is the facilitator’s guide for a workshop designed to present Essential Skills in a way that reflects an Aboriginal worldview. The workshop is aimed at frontline workers, educators and trainers.

The guide is designed to be used with a participant workbook that bears the same title. The authors note that the two documents must be used together to deliver the workshop.

The guide includes chapters on opening the workshop; the what’s and why’s of Essential Skills; Essential Skills stories; Essential Skills resources; assessing Essential Skills; and closing the workshop.

The guide also includes a number of appendices that contain answer keys and other workshop documents.
