Foundational Learners
Now let’s focus on the key term “foundational” in the CALP Vision on the CALP Logic Model:
CHANGING LIVES THROUGH ADULT FOUNDATIONAL LEARNING IN CONNECTED COMMUNITIES.
“A foundational learner is an adult who chooses to engage in foundational learning opportunities such as literacy, numeracy, skills for learning, basic digital skills, and/or English language learning to address knowledge and skills gaps. Foundational learners often experience economic, social, and/or other challenges or barriers that may interfere with their learning—challenges that cannot be separated from the learning journey itself.” (CALP Guidelines 2020, p.11)
You can find a more detailed explanation of a foundational learner on page 24 of the CALP Guidelines.
