Designing and Implementing Quality Education Programs in Confinement Settings
Few argue the importance of education in a youth's life, but many fail to recognize the importance of a robust, engaging and quality education program in a confinement setting as playing a critical role in reconnecting educationally disenfranchised students to successful educational experiences. How that happens and what constitutes a quality confinement education program is the subject of this webinar. Panelists will address topics such as curriculum, teaching and learning, assessment, educational program design and structure, student re-entry and transition strategies. In addition, panelists will provide insight on how quality education programs contribute to safe and healthy conditions of confinement and positive facility culture.
Date: Wednesday Jan 30, 2013
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST
Space is limited.
