Other such programs will be offered here in the near future.

CORRECTIONS ETHICS TRAIN-THE-TRAINER: February 9-11, 2011

What’s Right? What’s Wrong? What’s the Difference? Ethics and Character. Issues that Go to the Heart of Corrections. Successful completion of this program will authorize graduates to present the eight hour Ethics in Corrections, the sixteen-hour Ethics for Detention Training Officers, and four-hour In-Service Ethics courses within their own organizations or

local/regional training programs. This program blends three days of In-Class instruction with the equivalent of one additional day of interaction and dialogue through the ILEA Online Classroom.

          Models for Ethical Decision-making

          Identifying Dilemmas and “Stakeholders”
