THE NEED IN CORRECTIONS EDUCATION FOR COMPREHENSIVE TEACHER TRAINING.

Corrections education (CE) faculty Lauren Zavrel reflects on the vacuum of graduate-level programs and professional development (PD) that prepare teachers for the specific work of teaching adults in prisons and jails. Citing her own unique journey into the field of CE, similar stories from colleagues, and literature on the topic, she argues that the needs of both incarcerated students and their teachers warrant the attention of graduate schools. Specific references to PD as it relates to adjunct faculty and precollege-level faculty are also addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
