Lifelong Learning Website

Community Literacy of Ontario has just received funding from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities for two new projects. The first project is called: “Lifelong Learning for Literacy Practitioners Website.” This project will run from July 2008 to June 2009.

In this exciting project, CLO will research and develop a Lifelong Learning for Literacy Practitioners website that hosts information and resources on training and accreditation in the Ontario literacy community. This website will help current and future literacy practitioners better understand the current training and accreditation requirements in the literacy field as well as the skills required to deliver literacy programming. This online resource will help literacy practitioners to assess their current skill levels and gaps and develop a personal learning plan for upgrading their skills.

The Lifelong Learning website will include:

  • Web-based information that outlines the current training and accreditation requirements for employment in the Ontario literacy community
  • Web-based information which overviews the various skills required by literacy practitioners
  • A tool for literacy practitioners to assess their current skills and their skills gaps
  • A resource to help literacy practitioners develop a personal learning plan for upgrading their skills
  • Web-based information which overviews current
    opportunities in education and training for literacy
    practitioners

Stay tuned for more information in the coming months!
