[Assessment 627] Stages portfolio system to assess and recognize progress in literacy skillsMarg Rose bcmrose at telus.netThu Feb 1 20:50:55 EST 2007
Several provinces in Canada recognize adult learning in a functionally-based portfolio system. Manitoba uses the Stages of Learning and Literacy for levels 1, 2, or 3 (closely correlated to IALS levels) to evaluate learner progress. You can peruse the tasks in reading, writing, numeracy, and technology at each level, and the facilitator's guide at: http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/ael/all/publications/stages/stages.html Adult learners can also obtain dual credits at the Stage 3 level towards a Mature High School diploma, linked also to community college entrance qualifications. Ontario uses an articulated system and demonstrations of progress as well. Go to www.nald.ca for a list of contacts in each province to investigate. Some full-text documents are on-line there, including the Manitoba basic primer "Creative Student assessment". To talk more about the idea of dual credits, you may wish to talk to Sylvia Provenski, a graduate student investigating this area: SylviaP at westman.wave.ca. She also directs an adult learning centre in the province. Marg Rose, Victoria, BC Former Executive DIrector of the provincial literacy coalition Graduate student in M. Ad.
