| What do they do? |
The school board offers two programs in partnership with Community
Living Association using volunteers from Community Living to help
instruct adults. Because many of the learners do not meet the minimum
Level 1 requirements, traditional volunteer tutors cannot be used.
To overcome this obstacle, the school board and CLA
have created two models. In the first, the Pre-Level classes are held
in the same building and at the same time as the Level 1 classes. This enables
the CLA volunteers working with the Pre-Level learners to easily access
the literacy instructors.
In the second model, the Pre-Level learners and Level 1 learners
are in the class at the same time. |

| Why is it useful? |
It is designed to specifically address the learning needs of
developmentally challenged learners who might not otherwise have the
learning opportunities because they do not qualify for LBS level 1
instruction.
It also represents a good working relationship between the
School Board and Community Living Association. |
