Provincial Partnerships to Promote Essential Skills:
Final Report
The College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC), Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO), Ontario Continuing Education School Board Administrators (CESBA) and Ontario Native Literacy Coalition (ONLC), are provincial networks supporting programs, teachers and learners across Ontario. Although these organizations were familiar with each other, they had never had an opportunity to work together to address a common training need. They explored the challenges and opportunities of partnering more closely by focusing on the creation of a common, basic introduction to Essential Skills. This partnership was a groundbreaking venture. It was a challenging, educating, enlightening and rewarding experience for everyone involved. The network ED's and more importantly, the project staff, were able to demonstrate the common denominator was commitment to the field of literacy. There was a sincere desire to create something that would support practitioners from all literacy sectors in learning about and integrating Essential Skills into adult literacy programming and, ultimately, to enhance the lives of the people served by literacy and upgrading programs. The project report summarizes the highlights of this important partnership.
