The Adult Literacy Research Institute (ALRI) team attended the annual provincial Literacy and Learning Symposium held at Deerfoot Inn on October 16, 17, and 18.
ALRI presented current research projects to attendees from Alberta’s literacy communities. Audrey Gardner and Brendan Baines from Literacy Alberta hosted a session on a collaborative project focused on Literacy and Essential Skills (LES).
Sandi Loschnig shared highlights from the Stories from the Field project, followed by small group discussions exploring practitioner experiences in the field. Berniece Gowan and Patricia Pryce presented findings from the WriteForward project.
ALRI participated in the Resource Fair Reception, where we had representatives discuss our research projects such as the Alberta Reading Benchmarks, Alberta Adult Literacy Assessment Framework for Aboriginal Peoples, Read Forward, Learner Progression Measures and Nations Learning Together: An Art and Adult Literacy Project.
We would like to thank Literacy Alberta, Community Learning Network and Centre for Family Literacy for giving us the opportunity to share our research and gain new information from fellow literacy organizations in the community.
