This professional development activity/course is designed for:
Digital Literacy for Corrections Sharing and Learning Group meetings are held quarterly: in FY24, meetings will be held November 6, February 12, and May (TBD). Participation in all meetings is encouraged but not required. In each meeting, we address topics that are relevant to your work and what’s happening in your program. There are questions but no formal agenda. Please bring your burning questions, your hot topics, and your shining successes to share with the group!
We will use a discussion board to continue our collaboration and sharing outside of the meetings.
This meeting is statewide, and anyone who works in corrections is welcome to attend, regardless of their role or title.
