Tools and Resources to Support LBS Service Providers in Ontario
As part of the 2014/15 Service Delivery Network Development Fund (SDNDF) Common Assessment Training project, this list has been developed to showcase the many tools and resources available to support LBS practitioners and administrators in Ontario. These tools and resources have been developed by a variety of funding sources (i.e. SDNDF, Trillium, etc.), however they all support practitioners in the delivery of high quality, effective LBS programming that supports learners to achieve their goals.
Although there are a multitude of resources and tools available, the ones listed below are the most recent.

Tools and Resources to Support LBS Service Providers in Ontario
The following list of Tools and Resources is not broken down by stream or sector. Many of the tools and resources that are developed can be used across all sectors and streams (in some cases) with some adaptation or modification (i.e. Anglophone stream resources can be adapted for Aboriginal programming with the addition of the cultural component. As well, Aboriginal resources can be used in Anglophone programming in the same way. The biggest challenge is the adaptation and/or translation for the Deaf and Francophone streams. they are all stream-specific resources that should be highlighted.
