The Avenue team is pleased to announce the availability of new content for LINC programs using Avenue.ca. We recognize the value to teachers and learners of having up-to-date materials that are PBLA compatible. As a result, the development of new PBLA-compatible units and modules for Avenue is ongoing by the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks, the Toronto Catholic District School Board and New Language Solutions.. Twenty-eight new units and modules across all LINC levels are now available. They focus primarily on various aspects of financial literacy, workplace communication, Canada, and literacy support.
This new content is pre-installed all new courseware. For teachers who already have their courseware, these modules can be previewed in Avenue’s PBLA Sample Modules course. If you’d like any of these modules added to your course, please let your mentor know.

Completing Stage 3 or Stage 4 of the LearnIT2Teach teacher training has been recognized by TESL Ontario as a Post TESL Certificate Training Accreditation Course. Upon successful completion of one of the stages, TESL Ontario members are encouraged to apply to the organization for the accreditation. However, if a teacher completed Stage 3 prior to July 2014, she or he is not eligible as the training stage has been modified to meet TESL Ontario PTCT criteria.
