OFF THE CUFF FOR NEW PRISON EDUCATORS
Few teachers come to correctional education with critical survival skills. We offer in-house or regional orientation workshops including security awareness, curricular flexibility, student motivation, a team approach to rehabilitation, and a thorough introduction to the distinctive culture of prison education.
