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.
