Educational Programs in Prisons “It is not a surprise to see that prisoners all have a low education level. I guess a more educated person has enough sense not to be involved with crime…the relationship between crime and education is easy to see when viewing these facts” (Cordes 1). This is the view of most people when asked why people are in prison. People simply say that criminals were ill educated. As hard as we may try, we cannot do a lot about what happens before they enter prison, but there
Functional skills are some of my areas of specialist educational focus. Functional skills are core practical skills in English, maths and information and communication technology. Core skills are essential elements to progress in education, training and employment. These core skills are transferable and equip the learners with the foundational life skill tools to live an independent life at home, at school and in the work place. My work, due in part to the nature of the pupils I teach, who tend

of the employees made in his article “AP Classes Are a Scam.” Tierney states that the College Board receives over half its revenue from the AP programs, and over 8.6 percent of the profit is revenue. (“AP Classes Are a Scam”) The College Board is a non-profit organization, so it should not be making such extravagant profits. The Americans for Educational Testing Reform, AETR, have given the College Board a grade of a D. This grade is determined by the compensation of the executives and the money
statistically less likely to achieve a level of educational attainment as high as their wealthier counterparts (Ferguson et al 702). Because public schooling begins at age five, and the critical period for child development takes place within the first few years of life, the most reasonable explanation behind this educational ineptitude must lie within the quality or absence of a preschool experience. Therefore, I believe that providing additional early educational outreach opportunities encompassing all

Prison Literacy Programs "It costs the government half a million bucks to keep me in jail and $450 to teach me to read and write" (ex-con cited in Porporino and Robinson 1992, p. 92). The literacy demands of the workplace and society in general are growing in complexity, and recurring linked cycles of poverty and low literacy levels put some people at increasing disadvantage. The prison population includes disproportionate numbers of the poor; those released from prisons are often unable to find

Each link lead to another and another and so much information from cleaning regulations to how to do you taxes. To start a Childcare program there are many steps besides your level of education that you need to contemplate. My budget below does not state this but, I would choose sole proprietor as my tax status. My reason for this is, I have run

1. It is good that MMC has many benefit programs such as Shot-term Disability, Long-term Disability, Health Care, Retirement and Life Insurance. Most of the benefits programs are paid by company, which can highly motivate employees to have good work performance. Furthermore, employees have chance to decide to pay or not pay for those optional term insurance.

happen within training programs. Although some companies have stuck with the "tried and true" programs, such as the classroom discussion/lecture programs, many companies are trying to find new ways to help their employees obtain the knowledge and skills needed for their particular job. For a company to stay successful, they will have to constantly comply with the new trends in training while also staying true to their mission and/or objectives.

Referral programs have many different potential benefits and drawbacks for businesses. One potential benefit would be the cost of having a referral program. Word of mouth advertising costs the business virtually nothing (Small Business). Referral programs can even provide additional sales even though the company does little or no advertising (Small Business).
