Annotation
These are the first standards that have been developed entirely by and specifically for correctional educators in State and Federal correctional agencies, under the joint auspices of the Correctional Education Association and the Association of State and Federal Directors of Correctional Education.
Abstract
These standards, equally appropriate for both adult and juvenile correctional education programs, address both institutional and system-wide correctional practices in an effort to strengthen coordination and direction. Intended as a tool for self-evaluation and goal-setting, the standards focus on administration, staff, students, and programs. A self-evaluation form and a form for proposing additions, revisions, or deletions are provided in the back of the booklet.
