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.
Objective 5
To support the development of learners and practitioners in Native literacy
During the course of data gathering (Phase II Practitioner Standards Model,
Phase II Field Development: Moving Towards Action and Strengthening Partnerships
projects) practitioners not only expressed the urgent need for face to
face support, they also expressed their need for personal cultural awareness
and training in adult learning principles.
Phase H Moving Towards Action Recommendation
2
i) That a relevant, cultural orientation training, designed by a creditable,
Aboriginal facilitator be acquired and delivered to the Native literacy
field.
ii) That on-going relevant, cultural training and refresher courses in
teaching adult learners, become annual training events.
