District literacy plan

Questions to consider:

In reviewing the past district literacy plan—

  • What was accomplished?
  • How satisfied are we with the results?
  • What unanticipated consequences came up?
  • What worked well? What did not work well? Why?
  • How can we apply what we’ve learned to this year’s plan?

In setting the new district literacy plan—

  • Are the objectives specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely?
  • Are they aligned with the budget?
  • Are the responsibilities of the literacy stakeholder groups clearly defined?
  • How are we going to evaluate progress? Is it practical and valid? How do we know?

Boards of education are required to submit to the minister of education annual district literacy plans. These plans commit school districts to collaborate with other groups in their communities to raise literacy levels of all citizens in their school districts. Goals are based on an assessment of the needs and priorities of residents. These multi-year plans are updated annually with reports submitted by July 15.

The plan should include:

  • demographics of the district and community and how literacy fits into this context
  • how the district literacy plan fits with the district achievement contract
  • how the literacy plan fits with existing community literacy plans
  • how the board will consult with key literacy stakeholder groups
  • goals and objectives to improve community literacy
  • the rationale for each goal based on analysis of literacy information
  • actions (strategies and structures) directly linked to each goal and objective
