| SURVIVAL
SKILLS FOR SUPERVISORS
a template for a self-instructional workbook for
new supervisors |
| |
| This
publication is actually a template for a workbook
for new supervisors, or for those getting ready
to move into a supervisory position. The workbook
offers basic instruction and guidance before the
person has to make that first important decision
as a supervisor. In the self-instructional format,
it offers common situations and scenarios in such
areas as hiring, supervision, performance review,
progressive discipline, leading effective meetings,
grievance management, then provides check-up questions
along with suggested responses so that the A participant
can self evaluate. This customizable program comes
to you on disk so you can add local policy, adapt
the situations and suggested answers, and make
it most useful for your organization.

Juvenile
Corrections Caregivers Training Curriculum
2nd Edition
2005 |
| This
2nd Edition of the Juvenile Corrections Careworker
Curriculum is primarily designed to be experienced
by new workers in direct care positions in Juvenile
Correctional Facilities. Individual modules can
be used as “stand alone” trainings for
more experienced juvenile corrections careworkers
as part of annual in-service offerings. Modules
can also be tailored to your program by adding local
policies and materials.
The overarching goal of this curriculum
is to prepare the worker to establish a professional
sense of balance between the apparent competing
demands of institutional security and the needs
of the developing adolescent. It is the contention
of the authors of this curriculum that these dynamics
are not at cross purposes in our juvenile correctional
institutions. Rather, we suggest that by providing
safety, structure, and security, adolescents’
needs will be best met. And, understanding the
needs of adolescents supports institutional security.
It is often the direct care worker
who must strike a balance in this dichotomy in
the very dynamic environment of the institutional
culture. This curriculum provides information
and experiences that will contribute to workers’
ability to make reasonable decisions that align
with their institution’s policies in providing
optimum outcomes for the young people they encounter.

Resources to Fight Hate
for Educators and Community Leaders |
| The
Southern Policy Law Center is making available,
free of charge, two publications designed to teach
how to fight the kinds of hate-motivated violence
that the U.S. has experienced in recent months.
Responding to Hate at School is a 64-page
handbook that offers concrete steps for dealing
with prejudice and hatred in schools. The 28-page
Ten Ways to Fight Hate: A Community Response
Guide outlines fundamental principles for fighting
hate and examples of how local communities have
used these principles for responding to incidents.
Both
handbooks are available free of charge by fax
(334) 264-7310 or by mail (Order Department, SPLC,
400 Washington Ave., Montgomery Alabama 36104).
Both guides are also available at the Center's
web site at www.splcenter.org.
Responding to hate is in the Teaching Tolerance
area and Ten Ways is in the Intelligence Project

| Predictors
of Youth Violence |
| The
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
(OJJDP) announces the availability of "Predictors
of Youth Violence." This 11-page Bulletin was derived
from work written by J. David Hawkins, Ph.D., Todd
Herrenkohl, Ph.D., David P. Farrington, Ph.D., Devon
Brewer, Ph.D., Richard F. Catalano, Ph.D., Tracy
W. Harachi, Ph.D., and Lynn Cothern, Ph.D.
Drs. Catalano, Farrington, and Hawkins served on
OJJDP's Study Group on Serious and Violent Juvenile
Offenders. Effectively
predicting which youth are prone to commit violent
acts and at which stage in their development such
delinquency is most likely to erupt would significantly
strengthen our efforts to prevent juvenile
violence. Accordingly, the Study Group on Serious
and Violent Juvenile Offenders devoted 2 years
to analyzing the research on risk and protective
factors for serious and violent juvenile
offending, including predictors of juvenile violence
derived from the findings of long-term studies.
This
Bulletin describes a number of such risk and protective
factors, including individual, family, school,
peer-related, community/neighborhood, and situational
factors. Although additional research on
juvenile violence is needed, the information this
Bulletin provides will enhance understanding of
the predictors of youth violence, as will the
Study Group Report and the Bulletin summarizing
it, both of which may be obtained from OJJDP's
Juvenile Justice Clearinghouse (JJC).
"Predictors
of Youth Violence" (NCJ 179065) is available free
from JJC in a medium to suit your needs. Please
use the document number when ordering. Hard copies
can be ordered by sending an e-mail request to
puborder@ncjrs.org
or writing JJC at P.O. Box 6000, Rockville, MD
20849-6000. You may also call JJC at 800-638-8736
to speak with a publications specialist to request
that the document be mailed to you.
This
Bulletin is also available online at
http://ojjdp.ncjrs.org/pubs/violvict.html#179065

| Making
Sense of Learning Specifications & Standards
A Decision Maker's Guide to their Adoption |
| The
phrase "learning standards" is one of
the most powerful and most misunderstood aspects
of the e-Learning revolution. As organizations make
significant investments in digital learning content,
there is a strong desire to have greater assurances
portability and reusability. As organizations focus
on providing learners with the "just right"
content and activities, there is a strong desire
to have the ability to more easily store, search,
index, deploy, assemble and revise content. All
of these hopes are part of the story of "learning
standards". To
lower industry confusion about learning standards
and to accelerate their adoption, The MASIE Center's
e-Learning Consortium organized and facilitated
a group of learning professionals who worked together
for several months to generate a collection of
information and job aids.
