SUMMARY:Tuesdays for Teachers: Corrections - Getting Students Ready for Re-entry
DESCRIPTION:When you think of Re-entry services\, what comes to mind? Housing\, employment assistance\, transportation\, counseling? Re-entry programs provide all of those services and more. However\, adult educators can play a role in preparing students for re-entry through academic instruction that is contextualized to show students how the skills they learn while preparing for the GED test transfer into their lives after incarceration. \nThis session is designed to help instructors in corrections programs contextualize their instruction to show the value of learning concepts and skills for the GED test as well as for life beyond incarceration. Students in corrections have many resources available to them through re-entry services. However\, if the student has limited skills in math\, reading\, or writing\, how those students can take full advantage of those services may be limited. \nThink in terms of a student using re-entry services to find employment. Employers today expect that new hires will have at least a basic level of writing skills. In fact\, almost 75% of employers rank written communication skills third behind leadership and working as part of a team. In this session\, teachers will learn how to use “information hooks” to show students how what they are learning to pass the GED test can be used in various occupations from fast food to transportation to sales and service. \nRegister here.
