A good strategy is for them to talk and write about their personal
experiences, their history, their struggles as immigrants, etc. They
have fascinating stories to tell. Take a look at:

The above collections have been written by immigrant students. Click on
the books on the right hand side to see the stories and poems. While
they are written in Spanish, some have been translated.

Hello, everyone.

 

Some of my fellow correctional educators and I are participating in a
class on teaching the adult correctional (prison) student.  We have
identified a question in our studies that we would like for the members
of the list serve to help us answer.

 

"What instructional strategies have been found effective or are being
experimented with in teaching the undocumented adult special education
learner in such areas as: reintegration skills, retention skills, or
general study skills?"

 

Our students are incarcerated in correctional facilities throughout the
central United States.  We welcome any idea, comment or encouragement
that the participants in the list serve may be able to direct to us.

 

Thank you,

Rhonda Hammons
