Perspectives for Career Education in Corrections.

Overview & Synopsis

One of the products resulting from the Adult Career Education in Corrections Program of the University of Hawaii (a national effort initiated in 1972 and implemented within a regional framework with local participation), this volume is intended to serve as a supplemental resource for use with a generalized model (see related note) for planning, implementing, and evaluating programs of adult career education in corrections. The volume is comprised of articles divided into seven major topical areas which correspond to the seven major functions of the model: establish conceptual framework (fourteen articles), process system information (three articles), assess needs for career education (two articles), define/develop goals/subgoals/objectives (three articles), formulate adult career education plan (eight articles), implement adult career education plan (sixteen articles), and evaluate adult career education system (one twenty-page article). The articles were written by a wide range of professionals in the fields of corrections, education, economics, sociology, and psychology. (SH)
