Ontario Adult literacy Curriculum Framework Initiative: CESBA’s Sustainability Project

Through the Sustainability Project, CESBA will develop a strategy for managing and maintaining an ongoing “ever-greening” of the OALC. The project will develop a thorough understanding of what is needed in the future in the way of content management and processes to ensure the integrity of the curriculum and OALC assessment.

Action includes the following:

Conduct an evaluation of the OALC framework and initial field training

Define the deliverables/information that MTCU needs to own to ensure the integrity of the processes, including assessment

Research models that maintain online curriculum both in and outside of OntarioRecommend policy to MTCU for sustaining the Literacy CurriculumDevelop protocols, processes, and criteria for field engagement in the use and revision of framework content on the OALC website

Develop a decision process for sustaining and maintaining the interactive nature of the OALC

Identify future opportunities both internally and externally for Sustainability

In order to be successful in these tasks, CESBA will work closely with each of the other projects to stay abreast of developments and decisions. The goal is to become knowledgeable and stay well-informed regarding all aspects of the OALC that require supports for ongoing viability.
