Article 5: Education Landscape for Youth in the Juvenile Justice System (ACJ19-A005) by Katie Barclay Penkoff
Abstract
Through conducting a national survey of juvenile justice leaders, this study sought to illuminate the programs, services, and opportunities available to young people in U.S. based juvenile justice settings. Specifically, the study sought to determine the entities responsible for providing correctional educational services, the funding sources utilized, the characteristics of students served, the types of educational and career-related programming offered, the partners involved in delivering these opportunities, how educational technology is used to enhance learning, and the transitional services provided to youth reentering the community. The findings provide valuable insights into the current landscape of correctional education in the U.S.
