Phase II Field Development: Moving Towards Action    Recommendation 1
That the Ontario Native Literacy Coalition in concert with Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, create and employ a full time position of Native Literacy Field Development Worker.

Phase II Field Development: Moving Towards Action    Recommendation 3
That Practitioners be provided with an opportunity to participate in proposal writing workshops to develop their abilities to pursue other funding sources as their individual programs require.

Phase II Field Development: Moving Towards Action    Recommendation 4.
That the Ontario Native Literacy Coalition set up as direct link from the website, an independent online discussion group specifically for programs to provide feedback, evaluation of the Field development Worker impact, and New Practitioner/New Board Member Orientation needs.

Objective 3

To support processes toward the articulation of the Holistic Approach to Native Literacy.
Although this was a recommendation that emerged from Phase I, during the course of Phase II Working Towards Action, articulation of the Holistic Approach did not present as a priority with the field. The field was surveyed to determine how they incorporate the holistic approach. A wheel (see drawing) has been created to represent the variety of strategies that practitioners use to maintain a holistic approach within their programs. In addition, practitioners meet the needs of their learners through their attention to Native Learning styles. This information has been presented in table form (see Table).

Objective 4

To develop an action plan that enables the ONLC to implement the findings from Phase I of the Field Development Project.
As stated earlier, due to the limited scope of Phase I, Phase II work involved further data collection. This project contains clear directions for further training and supports for the Native literacy field. Tables and charts present priorities and recommendations which have been prioritized according to direct practitioner input. Several of the recommendations will require further funding pursuits outside of MTCU. To that end a comprehensive collection of funding possibilities, relevant to Native literacy are included in this report. However, the field will need training in proposal writing, as previously stated.
