OALCF

The Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework (OALCF) is a competency-based framework that supports the development of adult learners and literacy programming delivered through the Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) program. As the cornerstone of the LBS program, the OALCF links the program to the requirements of employers, education and training providers and community partners in a clear way and furthers the Employment Ontario promise of building a highly-skilled, highly-educated workforce in Ontario.
The Curriculum Framework (March 2015) is the foundation of the OALCF and outlines what is commonly available at an LBS program. It describes six, broad, competencies - generic categories of learner abilities—that organize the content of the LBS program. These competencies are embedded in authentic and purposeful tasks that show how literacy learning transfers to goal-related activities.
