Article 4: Education Behind Bars: Concepts and Needs for Teacher’s Professional Development (ACJ19-A004) by Katherine Graves & Annika Krause
Abstract
Educators within correctional facilities are essential in facilitating the (re-)integration of justice-involved youth into society. Their influence can be transformative, shaping the educational journeys of their students throughout the learning process. The classroom environment in juvenile justice centers presents unique challenges: (a) diverse student populations with specific learning requirements, (b) limited educational resources within the facility, and (c) education often taking a backseat to other priorities. These factors create a complex set of demands for educators. Teachers require specialized training and development to effectively address the professional hurdles they face in this setting. This paper examines and compares the issue of teacher professional development in juvenile justice
settings.
