National Adult Literacy Database

From the Ground Up (FGU) is a project of Research in Practice in Adult Literacy (BC), in partnership with Literacy BC, that helps practitioners develop tools to evaluate their community-based programs and facilitate the reporting process. The focus of the project is on community-based adult literacy programs. This particular document describes the Adult Goal Progress Chart Monitoring Tool used in the four component family literacy programs of the BC Fraser Valley. The premise for the creation of the Adult Goal Progress Chart is that adult learners need to be actively engaged and participate in creating the content of their learning material. This monitoring tool is designed to enable practitioners to take a collaborative approach, allowing participants to choose and define their personal goals and then develop learning plans to achieve them.
