TLG Tutor Volunteer Satisfaction Survey Results

THANK YOU for taking the time to participate in this survey!

Tutor volunteers are an important component of TLG. Through volunteers we are able to provide invaluable support and enrichment to students by delivering educational sessions in literacy, numeracy and technological skills.

The purpose of the survey was to gain an understanding of how satisfied tutor volunteers are with the whole experience. In addition, the results will help us identify the challenges and opportunities related to this position and furthermore, will provide us possible direction for potential enhancements.  

Thanks to this survey, we were able to identify the need to provide a space to share, network and to keep knowledge and skills up to date. So, we are launching the Tutor Networking Sessions. Come and join us!

An Overview of PIAAC

Essential Skills Ontario has just released the second of its 2014 Essential Skills Bulletins on PIAAC - the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies. Over the past several months, the research team at Essential Skills Ontario has been using the OECD’s public database to unpack and analyze PIAAC results in Canada and Ontario.
