LINC Guidelines Committee is comprised of BC settlement language training service provider coordinators and managers who are interested in compiling guidelines for use in a LINC delivery environment. These guidelines have been revised to reflect best practices intended to ensure consistency among LINC service providers.  \nThe terms of reference for this committee are as follows:  \n􀁸 The committee and its process is not meant to impose or mandate policies on settlement language providers in BC, but rather to provide guidelines that BC LINC providers could then utilize to inform their own internal program delivery.  \n􀁸 The committee mandate, with the support of AMSSA staff (Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC), will be on-going and will meet at appropriate intervals according to need.  \n􀁸 The committee will be proactive in seeking input and feedback from BC LINC providers, which will then inform revisions to the BC LINC guidelines document.  \n􀁸 BC LINC Guidelines will be forwarded to providers with the understanding that it is a living document; as such, there may be the need to revisit the document from time to time and make further revisions.  \nMembers of the BC LINC Guidelines Committee  \nChair: Ewa Karczewska, ISSofBC  \nAMSSA: Julie Ship, Settlement Language Coordinator and Farah Kotadia, Program Director  \nCurrent Participants: Betty Knight, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy; Jan Theny, Vancouver Community College; Mary Daniel, Delta Community College; Paula Mannington, Abbotsford Community Services; Yvonne Hopp, New Directions English Language School; Wendy Zarr, Vernon and District Immigrant","cbCaiu3SkUQM00bK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu3SkUQM00bK","pdf",937823,37,"English","# Foreword\n# Introduction\n# Eligibility\n# Registration / Waitlists\n# Client Progression\n# Student Records\n# Attendance Guidelines\n# Exiting Clients from LINC\n# Appendices\n## Appendix A – BCSIS Eligibility\n## Appendix B – Language Level Placement\n## Appendix C – Terms and Acronyms\n## Appendix D – PBLA Emerging Practice Guidelines\n## Appendix E – LINC Certificate\n## Appendix F – LINC/CLIC Certificate Issuance Policy\n## Appendix G – Learner Progress Report\n## Appendix H – Learner Conference Summary\n## Appendix I – Procedures for Enrolling in LINC\n## Appendix J – BC Waitlist Management Strategy Guidelines\n## Appendix K – Client Referral Form","[{\"question\":\"Who wrote and why were the BC LINC Guidelines revised?\",\"answer\":\"The BC LINC Guidelines Committee, made up of BC settlement language training service provider coordinators and managers, compiled the guidelines for use in a LINC delivery environment.
