4. Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework Fall 2011 (2012)
Implementation Training Guide
Series: OALCF Training Guide
Authors: Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO)
The Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework (OALCF) was developed to improve the transitions of adults through Employment Ontario (EO) programs and the broader education and training system. It is not a curriculum in the traditional sense of the word, but rather a framework that supports Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) programs in the delivery of task-based programming to learners.
The umbrella organization Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO) has produced this training guide based on OALCF implementation training delivered in the spring of 2011. This resource is intended as a training enhancement and would be beneficial as a refresher for those who attended the original training.
It includes background material on the OALCF; explanations of the six competencies set out in the framework; a discussion of the benefits to both learners and practitioners; and a number of case studies that show how the framework works in practice.

6. Trails to Literacy Around the Province (2002)
Positive Pathways To A Brighter Future
Authors: Deborah Ibey, Joyce Bigelow, Ditty van Tol
This report is developed to assist literacy agencies and their partners in developing a Trails to Literacy project. Trails is a ‘participatory’ learning concept developed to link learner-driven literacy upgrading with community marketing.
This report includes the following:
- Background on our original project at North Frontenac Literacy Program in Sharbot Lake, ON
- Different stages of the project:
Vision (includes goals, concept, benefits and recruiting)
Action (includes theory on authentic, collaborative and participatory learning)
Activities (includes pilot projects)
- Evaluation
- Suggested activities
- Sample forms
In a Trails project, practitioners and learners take part at various levels. The original goals, benefits and concepts need to be evaluated, as well as the activities and direction of the participants. Beyond this, the learning also has to be evaluated for the group and all individuals. Challenges and hopes for the future for Trails to Literacy will also be discussed.
