A Question of Literacy was co-developed with Rebecca Saunders in 2008 to help non-literacy-specialist VET trainers better understand literacy issues, learn how to address these more effectively in their training programs, and learn how to support trainees with literacy difficulties.
Originally produced to assist trainers in the Security Industry, this CD-based resource is in fact relevant to trainers and RTOs across all industries. The topics covered are:
- What is literacy?
- Identifying literacy requirements in Training Packages
- Using language more effectively
- Identifying the required literacy levels
- Linking the Training Package to the workplace
- Supporting trainees with literacy needs
- Putting it all together
It presents the information using workplace-based digital photostories, graphics and brief animations, and also contains:
- a reference folder of printable documents including a simplified Language, Literacy and Numeracy Scale; and
- a facilitator's guide
A Question of Literacy can be viewed individually on a desktop computer or through a dataprojector for larger groups.
Copies are available from Agenda Communication for $22 (inc GST). Please call 9330 8989
