After spending hours searching for a site dedicated to helping teachers in juvenile corrections facilities and coming up empty, we've decided to take the leap.
This website will serve as a place to catalog resources, strategies, and teaching philosophies. Our goal is to share what we love to do with others and hope we can improve educational programs across the correctional system.
Contributors will include myself mostly and teachers from the correctional system with whom I work.
I'm currently in my third year teaching mathematics in Maine, spending all of them with the Department of Corrections. It has been one of the most important learning experiences of my life. It certainly has changed the way I view education, and what I can do to improve it.
I hope you'll stay tuned and enjoy what we can offer, and share your own strategies for succeeding in this type of environment.
