Correctional trainers are not just instructors: they function within correctional organizations as agents of performance improvement. To create powerful training courses and modules that have impact beyond the classroom, trainers need to focus instructional design on actual job performance in addition to traditional classroom measures of learning. Examples and activities in the five course modules include topics and subject matter drawn from the field of corrections.
