A Family Guide to Getting Involved With Correctional Education

This Guide is designed to meet the needs of both families whose children are involved in the juvenile justice system and other juvenile justice stakeholders, including advocates, family organizations, the court, school administrators, and facility administrators. The first section is the Juvenile Justice Facility Guide, which provides stakeholders with an introduction to the model family guide and related tools that will enable the facility school to promote family participation in students’ education. The second section is the Family Guide to Getting Involved With Correctional Education. It is intended to encourage families—including those who are reluctant, fearful, or unprepared—to become more involved with their child’s education. Juvenile justice stakeholders need only to personalize the guide (Section Two), then duplicate and distribute the materials to family members of youth enrolled in their correctional education program.
