TRAINING AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT
Few educators come to correctional education with critical survival skills. We offer in-house or regional training in leadership, credit-bearing new teacher orientation, and customized workshops. Correctional Education training focuses on security awareness, curricular flexibility, student/teacher motivation, a team approach to rehabilitation, and thorough introduction to the distinctive culture of prison education.
