This is Shelley, coordinator of the UPP children's program and Jas, our UPP children's program facilitator with two wonderful UPP children!
The Call for Proposals for the UPP Pilot Sites has been posted on the KL&S website http://www.kingstonliteracy.com/ and the CEFL (Centre for Expertise in Family Literacy) http://www.familyliteracyexpertise.org/ website. I sent a notice to LBS programs through the CLO's May E-Bulletin and I sent the posting to Literacy Networks who work within a 500 kilometre radius of KL&S. The due date is noon July 16 2010. If you know about a program that might be interested, please let them know about this opportunity.
By the last week in June all UPP students and the very small LBS control group will have completed the "pilot" pre and post PDQ tests and the questionnaires. I am very interested to see the overall results and to think about how it all worked. I'm curious to find out if the PDQ is a good pre and post test, if the the questionniares give good information and if we are missing any other important elements.

A comment from an UPP instructor has got me thinking that it might be good to include a way to evaluate the "soft skills" that UPP participants are learning in their groups. All instructors have commented positively on the growth in self-esteem and confidence that their students have shown during the UPP program. And, these too are essential skills.
