Integrated Exercise Example “The man whose whole life is spent performing a few simple operations… has no occasion to exert his understanding, or to exercise his invention… He naturally loses, Featuring: therefore, the habit of such exertion, and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as Sellina from Katima it is possible for a human creature to and her small business become.” Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776) What could we teach? Where exactly is Katima Mulilo? • Costing and pricing terminology – direct costs, indirect costs, person hour, wage, overhead, profit So….Did you learn something? • What are essential skills and the background • Why should we address ES skills in our training? • How do we integrate ES into our programs and courses? by explicitly incorporating them in course objectives and learning outcomes by understanding that each ES has a range of complexity by using authentic workplace tasks and materials in our training by introducing active learning strategies • How to approach the problem (by fish, by day, by week by month)? • Table reading (document use) • Calculator use • Multiplication (cost to buy 150 fish, cost of 150 bags) • Division to calculate rates (price per bag, rent per week, salary per month, salary per hour, price per fish) – a rate is a fraction • How much to pay oneself? (calculation of an hourly rate + analysis of adjustments necessary) • Adding (all Sellina’s costs) • Percentages (profit margin) • Calculation of profit and conversion to percentage • Conversion ND to CD (using currency rates) • Working with decimals • How do you go about determining what to calculate? (analysis of process) • Research (product price comparisons, living costs) Thank-you.

Integrating Essential Skills into Training Materials Report & Resource Guide WW Workshop 2: Essential Skills Tools and Resources Lynda Fownes Lynda Fownes, Executive Director of SkillPlan, familiarized delegates with the variety of tools and resources available for use when integrating essential skills into training development and delivery. In particular she focused on the many resources developed by SkillPlan with funding provided by Human Resources Social Development Canada. Lynda reviewed SkillPlan’s mandate and the services that SkillPlan provides before reviewing four of the SkillPlan resources, Reading at Work, Writing at Work, Document Use at Work, and Numeracy at Work. Information on each resource including costs can be found below. Resources can be ordered by accessing the online order form at http://www.skillplan.ca/English/orderonline.htm SkillPlan also very generously contributed 6 Reading at Work: Workplace Readers, and 5 Reading at Work Facilitator’s Guides to delegates who agreed to complete a tracking form so that SkillPlan can followup with them in future to determine how the resources have been put to use. Reading at Work Reading at Work illustrates how the Essential Skills of reading text and document use are applied in the workplace. In the Reading at Work Workplace Reader and Facilitator's Guide, authentic workplace documents and real-life stories of workers on the job form the basis of learning activities. Lesson activities in the Facilitator's Guide help the instructor introduce and expand on topics in the Workplace Reader, providing learning strategies, suggestions for further activities, and additional source documents. Reading at Work enables instructors and trainers from the fields of adult/workplace education, literacy, and employment counseling, to focus on the information processing structure and strategies that lead to increased learner success and worker competency. For students and workers, the stories and activities in the Workplace Reader provide a unique opportunity to practice reading skills such as locating, combining, comparing and contrasting, integrating, explaining, and evaluating information. These skills are transferable and used by workers in many occupations. Facilitator’s Guide Price: $75.00 Workplace Reader Price: $35.00 [$25* each on GST and shipping charges extra. orders of 10 or more copies] Format: 3 ring binder, 410 pages. GST and shipping charges extra. *Note: Discount Price. Expires August 31, 2006 Format: 3 ring binder, 306 pages. Writing at Work Writing at Work is a resource based on the world of work. It describes the writing used in many occupations. The descriptions and examples use the language of Human Resources Social Development Canada’s Essential Skills Profiles, which have become the standard in addressing workplace writing in Canada. Each chapter examines the purpose, style, organization and use of such writing forms as Memos, Entry Forms, Logbooks, Bulletins and Regulations.
