Attention County Jail Educators !
You’re Invited! ! ! If you work or volunteer in family literacy, ELL, ABE instruction, inmate education, or community-based literacy program, or if you are a GED/HSED examiner, administrator, educator, workforce partner or disability specialist – this exciting educational opportunity is for you!
Again this year, the Correctional Education Association-Wisconsin has joined the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Technical College System, and Wisconsin Literacy to co-sponsor the 2011 Wisconsin GED/HSED & Adult Literacy Conferences.
Over 50 different workshop sessions are scheduled for those who teach or volunteer in ABE, ESL, or GED/HSED programs or are GED examiners or administrators. CEA-W Board members Jerry Bednarowski and Peggy Meyers have worked with the Planning Committee to include several sessions specifically highlighting concerns and programs of interest to educators working in correctional settings:
One of the workshops at the GED/HSED & Adult Literacy Conference will be a panel discussion hosted by Laurie Jarvis, Jail/Detention Center Representative on the CEA-Wisconsin Board. Comprising panel will be Linda Galko, teacher, Waukesha County Jail/WCTC; Ellen Hanneman, Inmate Education and Programs Officer, Marinette County Jail; Rick Karnowski, teacher, Milwaukee County Correctional Facility –South/Franklin Alternative Youth Program/MATC; Willa MacKemzie, teacher, LaCrosse County Jail/WTC; and Carol Seichter, teacher, Rock County Jail/BTC. The workshop will give teachers and program directors who work in county jails and detention centers the rare opportunity the meet with their colleagues who work in other counties.
Teaching while “locked up” brings a new perspective to teaching and learning. Join other county jail instructors from around the state as we plan a “Jail Break.” Bring your concerns, questions, best practices, and your stories to this session designed to allow for creative networking. Come prepared to share. This is no time to spend in the “seg” unit. Bring your wealth of knowledge and spend time with others that truly understand teaching behind bars.
Laurie will moderate this workshop, but the agenda will be set by you. Hope to see you there!
