Building Teams for Better Success, the final report of the Dofasco Action Research Project was actually only the beginning of the story. The instructor team at Dofasco and several of the Group of Nine participants have continued working together to streamline the team-building process as well as developing exciting new curriculum and outcomes for learners, volunteer-tutor training sessions, student tracking and evaluation materials. From a personal point of view, this experience has revitalized my passion for teaching adults in the literacy field and, working with colleagues that share that passion, bringing our best efforts for our students and ourselves…and having a whole lot of fun too!
