Action Plan and Measures

• Need to consult with region and receive direction from Alberta Education.

Implement Action Plan

• Existing grant from Pan Canadian Literacy forum.

Summative Evaluation

• Program feedback
• ERLC Board, District contact, and potential Advisory Committee feedback.

Lessons Learned / Next Steps:

• Competing priorities limit need for programming n this area.
