In the Gateway Program, all of the lessons, learning activities and tasks that you will use fit into the Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework (OALCF). Some of the terms that we use may sound new to you, but you will soon become familiar with the different types of activities that we do.
You will hear about 5 different categories (we will call them competencies) and various activities (we will call them tasks) within each category, which you will work on building and using the skills you need to succeed. Unlike some classes that you may have taken in the past, you should have lots of opportunities to choose what you want to learn, when you would like to learn it, and how you would like to learn it.
Your Instructor will provide you with the assessment, instruction, support, resources, feedback, and encouragement that you need to achieve your goal.
