A Family Guide to Getting Involved With Correctional Education

This document, divided into two sections, is designed to meet the needs of juvenile justice stakeholders who are working to promote family involvement and of families whose children are involved in the juvenile justice system. The first section, The Facility Guide, provides information for facilities and stakeholders about how to use The Family Guide (the second section) as well as customizable tools to use to help promote family participation in a student’s education. Facilities and stakeholders can customize and disseminate The Family Guide to family members to encourage them to become more involved with their child’s education. This guide focuses on practical strategies that families can use to build a relationship with their child’s correctional education program and to keep their son or daughter on track for completing school and becoming a successful young adult. The guide can be accessed in both PDF and MS Word formats. The latter format is recommended if you plan to customize the materials.
