Five papers, presented at a conference that was part of the Correctional/Special Education Training Program (C/SET), discuss various aspects of the training of correctional educators, particularly those working with handicapped offenders.
Abstract
The first paper reports on C/SET's development of training packages for correctional educators working with handicapped offenders. Data are provided on the number of handicapped persons in State juvenile and adult facilities in the United States. Another paper describes and illustrates the C/SET instructional training modules for use with correctional educators who instruct handicapped offenders, followed by a paper that presents a model for inservice training for corrections personnel. Major activities to be performed in each element of the model are mission development, function definition, competency identification, the development of objectives and evaluation criteria, content selection, program structure, program implementation and management, and evaluation. Other papers address the coordination of correctional educators' training in the context of total prison management and the problems and practices of inservice education for correctional personnel. References for each paper. For the paper on educator training for the teaching of handicapped offenders, see NCJ 102714.
