New Resources for Working with Underrepresented Groups

Summer Burton • April 11, 2023

Literacy and Basic Skills programs have a long history of working with learners from underrepresented groups, and through MLITSD’s Skills for Success initiative we are pleased that new curriculum and resources are available to support you in this work.

We invite you to visit the Underrepresented Groups page on the Literacy Resources and Discussion Forum to access new resources from organizations like Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO), Laubach Literacy Ontario (LLO), and the Ontario Association of Adult and Continuing Education School Board Administrators (CESBA).

Resource topics include adapting to change, setting priorities, self-advocacy, budgeting, organization, time management, and more.

These resources can be found at: https://lbsresourcesandforum.contactnorth.ca/mod/data/view.php?id=62

Skills for Success: Writing

By Summer Burton • July 13, 2023

The Skills for Success are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life. Today we're continuing our look at the Skills for Success by talking about Writing . According to the Canadian government, writing is how we share information using written words, symbols, and images. For example, we use this skill to fill out forms and applications, and write emails, reports and social media posts. Learn more about writing and the other Skills for Success here , and think about the writing you do on an average day, from grocery lists to reminders to homework. If you'd like to build your reading, writing, creativity, problem solving, and other Skills for Success, Ontario's adult literacy programs offer free, individualized training that can help.
