Workshop Description:
This is an introduction to the new course that contains integrated resources that make logical and common sense to give students a more realistic perception of what they learn and what they can do with it. This program will help students gain a better understanding of the Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security career cluster using a case study approach. At the same time they will learn more about how the justice system functions. This course will include a classroom set of materials. The set contains: 25 student texts (65 pages each) and a teaching guide on CD. The latter may be reproduced as a hard copy by each school purchasing a set. The program can be taught as a one semester introductory course or it can be taught as a full year with added speakers and visits to local public safety/law related organizations. The materials can also be incorporated into more advanced courses as much of it relies on problem-based, case studies.
