TEACHING ON THE INSIDE
A Survival Handbook for the New
Correctional Educator
by Pauline Geraci
Author Pauline Geraci states
that her
book, Teaching on the Inside: A Survival Handbook for the New
Correctional Educator, is "not about how to teach offenders, but
rather an overview of what it can be like to teach in a correctional
setting." Geraci also states that teaching inmates can be an
"extremely rewarding," yet "daunting task."
This book introduces new teachers to inmate culture and its
significance to correctional education. It places equal emphasis on
how to teach and how to interact with the correctional client.
Finally, it explores the relationship of correctional organization and
staff to the correctional educator.
Teaching on the Inside
is divided into thirteen readable chapters filled with
|
|
 |
| practical advice and
vignettes drawn from the author’s experience as a correctional
educator. It also includes a foreword, an introduction, terms and
definitions, and a teacher’s self-assessment. An extensive
bibliography attests to the research done in the preparation of
the booK.
A must-read for the new correctional educator, this book is also
helpful to all correctional staff.
