1. The 3Rs of Research Practitioner Toolkit (2008)
Authors: Cindy Davidson, Literacy Network of Durham Region
This toolkit is designed for practitioners who may feel intimidated at the prospect of integrating research into a program.
The authors begin by defining “research in practice” simply as using the evidence of research and applying it in some way to one’s own experience and “research integration” as using the knowledge of the research.
In the second chapter, the authors set out six stages of research integration: awareness; information gathering; impact reflection; preparing for change; program implementation; and collaboration and exploration.
They also provide strategies for research integration and include a set of tools and templates to help at all stages of integration.

2. Adult Literacy Volunteer Tutor Program Evaluation Kit (1989)
Authors: Audrey M Thomas
This is a self-study evaluation kit developed to help programs examine their practice, reflect upon it and try to see how things could be done differently in the hope that this reflection would lead to action and improved programs.
The evaluation is a participatory process that: encourages objective evaluation of the program; encourages upgrading of program conditions; suggests areas for growth; enables coordinators to focus on needs of tutors and learners; provides opportunities to plan ahead; promotes group spirit and discussion; provides a tool for in-service development; and provides a basis for program funding proposals.

8. Creative Arts Therapy Program 1998-1999: Report and Evaluation (2000)
Authors: Liza Miles-Husain, Sharen Johnston
The objective of the project was to provide a program of creative arts therapy to literacy students at Victoria READ Society. The program was designed to offer students an opportunity to explore life issues through art in a group setting to facilitate awareness of behaviour or emotional issues which may interfere with the student's access to further training and future employment. The program was initiated by teaching staff at Victoria READ Society who recognised that many students need support beyond literacy training in order to achieve their goals or make changes to their personal circumstances.
This innovative project was established to determine if providing individual and group counselling sessions through the use of art therapy would help literacy learners to :
1- reduce personal and often overwhelming barriers to learning, and
2- improve a learner's ability to seek and give support in the class, at home and at work.

9. Guide To Evaluation For Family Literacy Projects In Alberta (1997)
Authors: Sharon Skage
This guide to evaluation grew out of research conducted by the Family Literacy Action Group (FLAG) of Alberta. The research identified what family literacy workers in Alberta considered key issues and concerns. The most prevalent of these issues and concerns were the lack of on-going funding sources for family literacy programs and the need for strategies for reaching families most in need of this type of support.
This resource on evaluation is intended to provide information and tools to assist family literacy workers in Alberta.
