Juvenile Facility Superintendents Define Their Job Duties and Tasks
by Rick Ruddell and Tommy Norris |
| |
| One way to better understand the main tasks and duties of a facility superintendent is to develop a job competency profile. The outcomes of these exercises can be used for a variety of purposes, including developing training and education, as well as position descriptions and performance evaluations. On March 27, 2009 a group of six facility superintendents met in Lexington, Kentucky to develop a job competency profile for facility superintendents. A process called Developing a Curriculum, or DACUM, was used to identify the key job duties and tasks for superintendents, as well as training needs for new and veteran superintendents. More |

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.

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.
