Lisa Hagedorn, of the Ottawa-Carlton District School Board, compiled an excellent collection of resources for LBS numeracy teachers, and I thank Lisa for her willingness to share that with me. I also appreciate Lisa’s experience as a project worker and her proactive perspective on teaching numeracy to adult learners in LBS.

Finally, I wish to acknowledge the contribution of the College Sector Committee members and the northern LBS college teachers for their feedback during the meetings we had throughout the project. This provided me with valuable collaboration much needed in a project such as this.

It is my sincere hope that you will find this manual to be a positive, readable, interesting overview of adult numeracy programming, both inside and outside of Ontario.
