All formalized referrals are documented and reported in the Employment Ontario Information System: Case Management System (EOIS-CaMS) while the learner is receiving Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) services. As noted, formalized referrals filter into the Detailed Service Quality Report (DSQR) performance report when the learner exits the program and the service plan is closed. This… Continue reading Why are referrals only counted at exit?

Literacy and Basic Skills Culminating Tasks Additional Questions and Answers
Culminating tasks are not a good fit for some learners to measure readiness to transition. How can we address this to best support these learners if the ministry requires them?
The requirement of including culminating tasks in learner’s plan is meant to open a dialogue between service providers and their learners about transition readiness and culminating tasks (i.e., this requirement is not punitive). If the service provider and learner determine that there are no relevant culminating tasks available, this should be noted in the learner… Continue reading Culminating tasks are not a good fit for some learners to measure readiness to transition. How can we address this to best support these learners if the ministry requires them?
Could culminating tasks be developed that are less like an exam or standardized test?
Culminating tasks are developed by support organizations. Literacy and Basic Skills programs are encouraged to connect with their provincial or regional support organization to request the development of specific culminating tasks to meet identified gaps.
Can EOIS-CaMS provide options for tasks based on information/goal path(s) identified instead of searching for them?
Literacy and Basic Skills programs are encouraged to provide feedback and recommendations to streamline EOIS-CaMS through the regional support model.
Can culminating tasks have more flexibility around choice and varying goal paths?
EOIS-CaMS does not track the specific culminating task chosen. This information will be included in the learner plan, but not in the EOIS-CaMS service plan. The focus of the culminating task is on the multiple competencies required to manage the environment of the learner’s goal. Until there are a sufficient number of goal path-specific culminating… Continue reading Can culminating tasks have more flexibility around choice and varying goal paths?
Can identification of successful milestones be an indicator of successful transition?
No. While both culminating tasks and milestones are aligned with the Curriculum Framework, they are different in their nature and serve different purposes with respect to assessment. Milestones are goal-related assessment activities that learners complete to demonstrate their abilities to carry out discrete goal-related tasks and are used to demonstrate progress from one Ontario Adult… Continue reading Can identification of successful milestones be an indicator of successful transition?
Can we use culminating tasks outside of the learner’s goal path if it supports their goals? Will this be allowed in EOIS-CaMS?
EOIS-CaMS does not track the specific culminating task chosen. This information will be included in the learner plan, but not in the EOIS-CaMS service plan. The focus of the culminating task is on the multiple competencies required to manage the environment of the learner’s goal.

There is no option to identify specific culminating tasks in EOIS-CaMS (only Yes/No/No Response). Will this be updated to identify the culminating task on the learner plan?
Yes, the ministry has updated the learner plan template to include a space for the name of the culminating task. It is important to note, however, that the learner plan template available on the Employment Ontario Partners’ Gateway (EOPG) is meant as an example of what a learner plan may look like, and service providers… Continue reading There is no option to identify specific culminating tasks in EOIS-CaMS (only Yes/No/No Response).
