  • Sessions with Miriam Trehearne and Lynell Burmark represented the regions interest in this area and the need to enhance programming. Miriam’s session on a Literacy Audit includes some legacy materials available on ERLC PD resources under the literacy theme. http://www.erlc.ca/resources/default.php
  • Lynell shared at the Leading our Way Forward conference where she highlighted the need for an emphasis on visual literacy for 21st century learners. Some of her materials are sustained at the ERLC wiki accessible here
  • http://leading-our-way-forward.wikispaces.com/Lynell+Burmark+-+Visual+Literacy
  • Work continued on the series of Pan Canadian Literacy Legacy materials. Release of the materials will occur after the Education literacy action plan is released and the materials can reflect the new document/position.
  • ERLC will host a literacy advisory committee during the 2010-11 year.
