Live Session: 18 Holes of Ideas for Adult Learners Behind & Beyond Our Prison Walls
Description: Summer is here and it's time to hit the “LINCS.” Beginning with a trip to the practice golf range with an introductory workshop, we will explore new and creative ways to teach adult learners in correctional and reentry settings. Then it’s off to the “LINCS” as we take the next 18 days to share creative and innovative ways to teach adult learners and prepare them for life outside of prison. The holes (discussion posts) will continue each day in the Correctional and Reentry Education group as we add new ideas and best practices to our LINCS scorecard and have fun learning and sharing on this imaginary golf course.
