Profiles of Effective Practices
Authors: Adele Thomas
This document attempts to bring together a sample of family literacy programs representing the range of family literacy approaches in different communities across Canada. Rather than a survey written in one voice by someone relatively unfamiliar with specific programs, it is written in the many voices of practitioners who have been closely involved in the establishment and maintenance of family literacy programs. This document highlights twelve anglophone programs from eight provinces. Separate reports will provide details about francophone and aboriginal family literacy programs.

5. It Guided Me Back to Learning (1999)
A Longitudinal Research Study on Calls to the Literacy B.C. Helpline
Authors: Sandy Middleton
This study was designed to document who calls the Literacy BC helpline and why they want to improve their literacy skills. What do their motivations and goals tell us about the role of literacy in society, in the economy, and in their personal lives? The study was also designed to examine what happens after they call. Do callers access and participate in the programs we help them to locate? If not, what stopped or prevented them? For those who participate, do the programs they attend meet their needs and expectations?
The findings in this report are based on quantitative and qualitative data collected from 248 callers to the helpline between August 1996 and August 1997. With the caller's permission, data were collected at four points: during the initial call, and in follow-up calls made by Literacy BC staff at two, five, and eight months after the original call.

10. Promoting Provincial Partnerships: Motivation, Process and Outcomes (2008)
Final Report
Authors: College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC), Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO), Continuing Education School Board Administrators (CESBA), Ontario Native Literacy Coalition (ONLC)
This report is the result of a project led by Ontario's College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC), in partnership with three other provincial organizations involved in adult literacy and upgrading: Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO), Ontario Association of Continuing Education School Board Administrators (CESBA) and the Ontario Native Literacy Coalition (ONLC). The goal was to determine how opportunities for partnerships between provincial organizations could be identified and developed.
The project's goals included outlining the challenges and benefits of developing common approaches at the provincial level; creating dialogue among four stakeholder organizations regarding implementation of Essential Skills in adult literacy and upgrading programming; developing the common message and content to be included in Essential Skills training for practitioners; and testing the usefulness of this type of approach among key provincial stakeholders with a wide range of views and operational requirements.
Interviewed at the end of the project, the participants reported feeling satisfied at the effectiveness of a partnership approach. They felt the project showed that organizations with different structures, needs and cultures could work together effectively.
The project report identifies ten Best Practices derived from data collected and discussions held, which the partners agreed would help future partnerships succeed. The Best Practices deal with matters like partners' joint ownership of a project, terms of reference, communication and goal-setting.
