BUDGET NARRATIVE
The Weld County Government has demonstrated a strong commitment to this project through its
commitment of resources. In addition to the estimated$250,000.00 it is committing in computer hard
and soft ware, the personnel time required for the administration of the grant and the additional
counselor time utilized for implementation and facilitation of the program are being assumed by the
county. A new state of the art jail has been constructed and will open in November of 1997. This
jail is strictly designed to be operated as a direct supervision facility with inmate training and
programs at the core. Four classrooms attached to each housing unit can accommodate one quarter
of the housing unit's inmate population each and a fiber optics line has been installed allowing for
eight computer ports in each housing unit. This grant will allow the Weld County Jail to more
effectively provide life skills to the inmate population and will provide an evaluation process to assess
the success or failure of the program.
For the purposes of this grant application each line item will be separately examined and an
explanation of why it is there and how the cost was calculated will be given.
Item 1 For the three year tenure of this project, a full time job technician will be hired to provide
computer support and training to the counseling staff of the jail. The current base salary of
this position is $18866.00 annually. Accounting for cost of living allowances this cost was
rounded to $19000.00 for each of the three years of the grant. Overtime for the counseling
staff for forty hours of training that is being provided in computer support and job services
971054
training was placed in this category. The figure of$4000.00 accounts for six counselors for
forty hours at one and one half their base salary.
Item 2 As described in Item 1 the fringe benefits for the full time job technician are estimated at
$7000.00 and those for the counseling staff are roughly $1000.00. The job technician
position will continue with fringe benefits over the entire three year period but the counseling
staff will only be required for the first year.
Item 3 Over the tenure of the grant Dr. Tayman's will need to travel to Greeley, Colorado four times,
twice the first year and once each year for the remaining two years. A $600.00 per trip
expense budget was developed by utilizing the federal budget figures that Dr. Tayman used
when she travels from Washington, DC to Greeley, Colorado in June of this year. As
requested by the Department of Education one trip is planned from Greeley Colorado to
Washington,DC in each of last two years of the grant to attend the annual project directors
meeting. As part of this grant's requirement for dissemination of information, personnel from
the Weld County jail will request to present this project and its evaluations at the annual
conference of the American Jail Association and/or the American Correctional Association
for the final two years of the grant period. A budget of$1000.00 per year is requested for
this purpose. This amount includes registration, travel, and lodging for the participant. Any
additional costs associated with this presentation will be assumed by the Weld County jail.
Item 4 For the first year of this grant a computer network within the classrooms of the housing units
has to be established. The cost for this endeavor will be $53,640.00. (For a detailed list of
971054
required equipment see appendix L). This cost includes 24 computer stations (eight per
housing unit)and all of the required hard and software to support those stations and link them
to the Employment Services network. Also in this budget item is the cost of a copying
machine ($4000.00) which allows for community service providers to provide educational
materials to inmates at a reduced cost. These amounts were estimated by contacting several
dealers and obtaining price quotes. The final purchase of both the computer equipment and
the copier will be conducted by a competitive bid process.
Item 5 Supplies included in this grant include $2000.00 annually which pay for the copying supplies
utilized by the copying machine. This amount was estimated by contacting several dealers
and obtaining price quotes. The final purchase will be conducted by a competitive bid
process.
Item 6 Two thousand dollars has been set aside for the non-profit community service providers that
will instruct inmates in such areas as literacy, parenting skills, drug/alcohol education, and
domestic violence education. Each of these providers will utilize volunteers to assist with
this education process,thus reducing the cost to the grant,jail, and community organization.
This cost was arrived at by using the current costs associated with this training. The final
selection of community providers will be completed by a competitive bid process. This cost
will continue through all three years of this grant. An additional $24,000.00 annually is
required by Employment Services of Weld County to maintain their network. These costs
include payment to vendors for assessment instruments utilized by inmates, required upgrades
3
971054
to their computer system, and administration of their system.
Item 7 No construction costs are associated with this grant.
Item 8 Software and computer upgrades will be required through out the tenure of this grant. The
cost for these agreements and for upgrading the system are estimated at $20,000.00 per year
of the grant and continuing on after the grant. These cost were provided by the Employment
Services of Weld County office through an analysis of what similar network configurations
have cost them to establish and maintain.The required computer usage agreements, however
may have a reduction in costs. Since these agreements specify how many computers can be
utilizing the program at a particular time, not how many are on the system, the cost can be
shared among several computer sites such as social services, the Employment Services job
laboratory, and other sites.
There is an addition cost in this category is$400.00 per day for Dr. Tayman's evaluation of
this program. Dr.Tayman will spend sixteen days in Greeley evaluating this project over the
course of the three year grant. Dr. Tayman will also be allowed five additional days during
the grant period for preparation of her evaluations. This amount was calculated by calling Dr.
Tayman and ascertaining her fees.
Item 9 The total direct costs associated with this grant are $301,840.00. This figure is the sum of
line items 1 through 8.
4
971054
Item 10 There are no indirect costs.
Item 11 There are no training stipends requested.
Item 12 Total cost for this budget are$301,840.00. This figure is the sum of line items 1 through
11.

PART IV
971054
PROGRAM NARRATIVE
The goals of this project are fivefold.
* It is designed to provide inmates with the necessary life and employment skills required to
reintegrate into the community;
* To change the social environment of the inmate while in custody by introducing his/her family
into different social structures;
* To provide the inmate with a mentor if requested;
* To utilize community's resources as a cooperative effort to reduce recidivism;
* To enhance the community's understanding of the jail environment.
This program will afford inmates an opportunity to take responsibility for their lives within the
confines of the jail and work towards a progression of personal growth upon exiting the jail.
By increasing the likelihood of success of inmates becoming employed and not returning to the jail
the community would benefit by a reduction in crime, a reduction in the costs associated with
criminal prosecution and incarceration, and by the increased tax revenue generated by the
employment of the former inmate.
The Weld County Jail is located in Greeley, Colorado and is operated pursuant to state statute by the
sheriff of the county. In the past the county was predominantly agriculture. However, recently we
have experienced a significant population growth due to the Denver International Airport and new
industry moving into the county. The demographic break down is 70% white, 27% Hispanic, and 3%
1
971054
other. The jail serves eighteen local law enforcement jurisdictions and the patrol division of the Weld
County Sheriffs Office. The current physical plant was constructed in 1978 and has had two major
expansions since its original construction. Currently,the jail has bed space for 187 inmates. The
average daily population has steadily increased over the past ten years by 108%from 113 in 1985 to
247 in 1995. Several early release programs and work release programs have been implemented over
the past several years to help ease the overcrowding conditions of the jail.
The demographic composition of the jail is 61%Hispanic, 38%white, and 1%black. Of the entire
inmate population approximately 20%are monolingual with Spanish as their primary language. Forty
three percent of the population of the jail fall within the ages of 18 to 26 years of age. Ninety percent
of the inmates are male.
The Weld County Jail is currently in the process of building another 160 bed facility within two miles
of our current jail. Both of these jails are direct supervision facilities. Upon completion of the new
jail complex in November of 1997 both facilities will be operated simultaneously. The current jail
will house the maximum and medium level prisoners and the new jail will house the minimum level
inmates. Both facilities are direct supervision jails but the new jail complex is state of the art and
provides a more conducive atmosphere for cognitive restructuring of inmate behavior. In addition,
the housing units in the new jail complex are equipped with two classrooms adjoining each housing
unit or pod. Each of these classrooms will comfortably seat fifteen inmates and two instructors.
Entire audio-visual, computer outlets, and other classroom equipment are available for each
classroom. As part of the incentive to reside at the new jail complex, inmates will be required to
2
971054
participate in the educational and life skills part of this program.
A flow chart of this project can be found in Appendix A. Below is a description of this flow chart
and the project as a whole.
When an arrestee enters the Weld County jail his/her personal information is obtained and each inmate
receives a medical screening. Each inmate remaining in custody longer than twenty four hours is
classified and moved to the appropriate housing unit.
The Weld County jail uses a validated objective classification system to decide the housing assignment
of inmates.This goal of the classification system is to place inmates with like behaviors and security
levels in the same housing units. To do this six factors are examined for each individual inmate.
These factors include;
* Severity of current charges/convictions;
* Most serious offense history;
* Escape history;
* Disciplinary history;
* Prior felony convictions;
* Stability factors including age, employment, and residence.
This classification system recognizes four classification levels; minimum, medium, maximum, and
special needs. At this time emotional and psychological needs of the inmate are considered. If the
inmate has acute emotional or psychological symptoms then appropriate treatment is sought through
3
971054
the local or state mental health agencies. The inmate's classification and this interview are conducted
by one of the jail programs counselors. Each of these counselors have at least a bachelors degree in
a human services field and additional training in the detection and treatment of mental disorders.
Curriculum vitae for the programs staff can be located in Appendix B. After classification,the inmate
is moved to his/her housing unit.
Between twenty- four and forty-eight hours after classification, the inmate is given an assessment
to determine his/her academic and emotional skills in several areas. Including but not limited to
reading/writing/math, domestic violence, alcohol and drug abuse, parenting, and job skills. The
assessment process is designed to identify the particular needs of the inmate and direct that individual
to the program that will be most appropriate. The information needed for this purpose is a review
of the offenders criminal history and demographic characteristics, employability issues, and current
general feelings about life circumstances. This assessment is conducted in the classroom adjoining
the housing unit which reduces the amount of movement throughout the jail that the inmate must
make,thus reducing the amount of stress that is placed on the inmate prior to the assessment. This
assessment is conducted by programs counselors using a computerized assessment process which
analyzes the inmates academic and emotional needs in the areas of reading, math, science, language
in both English and Spanish,job skills,problem solving, interpersonal communication, and aptitude
and interest inventories.
At the conclusion of this assessment the inmate begins an intensive fourteen day problem solving skills
course which is cognitive based (See appendix C). This course was designed by Dr. Julianna
4
971054
Taymans and is endorsed by the National Institute of Corrections. See Dr. Taymans Curriculum Vita
in Appendix D. This training will be facilitated by a member of the programs staff and is co-facilitated
by a correctional officer of the Weld County jail. This provides correctional officers an awareness
of what is being taught to the inmates and enables inmates to redefine their relationships with
correctional officers from a purely authoritarian role to the role of a helper/facilitator. This
complements the direct supervision philosophy. The result of co-facilitation encourages team
building between program counselors and correctional staff. This will directly impact inmates in
their efforts towards habilitation.
Dr. Tayman's Problem Solving course curriculum includes:
* Modeling-This is a very important and powerful cognitive instruction. During the modeling
portion of a lesson the instructor demonstrates both the thinking and overt behaviors crucial
to the skill step. The instructor Thinks aloud'so participants have a model of how they should
be thinking. It is important for the instructor to practice the model portions of a lesson so the
demonstration is fluid and without mistakes.
* Role Playing-Role playing can be used as a part of modeling or as a way for participants to
practice. Role plays simulate real interactions between people. Participants will engage in
the skill step to effectively engage in problem solving under simulated conditions. This can
be a valuable tool for checking participant understanding and ability to follow the skill steps.
* Practice-The purpose of this unit is to teach a cognitive skill- problem solving. As with the
5
971054
acquisition of any skill it is important for participants to practice using the problem solving
steps. Practice can be in the form of individual or group use of the problem solving steps.
• Wrap-up-Just as it is important to provide an advance organizer previewing what the session
will address, it is important to close each session with either a statement or questions which
help participants think about what has been addressed. Questions can be used as a means of
checking if participants understood the lesson content.
At the conclusion of Dr. Tayman's problem solving course, utilizing the assessment, the programs
counselor assigns the inmate to the particular program which he/she needs. The inmate's housing unit
may also be changed at this point to place inmates with like needs in the same housing unit thus
encouraging a peer tutoring program. Each of these programs last for thirty days and an inmate may
move to another program or extend the same program at the end of any particular program These
courses are cognitive skills based and for those inmates that will be going to the Department of
Corrections the courses will be tailored to dovetail into those courses currently being offered in the
Department of Corrections.
At the current time approximately 40%of the population of the jail is sentenced to time periods long
enough to complete both the fourteen day problem solving course and one of the thirty day courses.
These courses are to be taught by non-profit community agencies on a contractual basis. Several
types of Adult General Education Programs that will be offered include:
* One-on-one Literacy Tutoring-volunteer tutors to teach basic literacy;
iI
* Adult Basic Education(ABE) - instruction focuses on reading, writing , arithmetic, spelling,
6
971054
social studies, general sciences, health, language arts, and consumer education;
« General Education Development Preparation(GED) -provides an opportunity to an in state
high school diploma;
« Vocational Training-instruction focus on the accumulation of occupational/trade skills with
immediate application to the job market;
* English as a Second Language(ESL) - provides an opportunity for Spanish speaking clients
to increace proficiency in English in order to maximize their education/occupation plans.
The focus is to provide precision learning opportunities tailored to fit individual needs.
In the future, these providers may include such agencies as Right to Read of Weld County, Island
Grove Regional Alcohol/Drug Rehabilitation Center, the Child Advocacy Resource and Education
Center,A Women's Place(a battered woman's shelter), Aims Community College,the University of
Northern Colorado. A description of each of these non-profit agencies and educational institutions
can be found in Appendix D. These agencies will be selected through a competitive bid process. In
addition to the volunteers that these agencies utilize, volunteers from the jail ministry program
(described later) and interns from the University of Northern Colorado will be used in cooperation
through each of these organizations.
Previously, Dr. Tayman provided a forty how course to several non-profit service providers and
government agencies including, the Weld County District Attorney's Office, the Weld County
Probation Office, Right to Read of Weld County, the Child Advocacy Resource and Education
Center,the Island Grove Regional Detoxification Center,a Women's Place, and counseling staff from
7

•
the Weld County Jail. This course was titled "Cognitive Restructuring for Modifying Inmate
Behavior".
Currently, a pilot program involving Right to Read of Weld County teaching literacy skills and the
Child Advocacy Resource and Education Center teaching parenting skills implemented six months
ago is showing success thus far. An assessment from each of these programs can be found in
Appendix E. Due to their short duration, a full evaluation of their success or failure is not yet
available .
Several benefits are associated with utilizing these non-profit agencies for these training sessions.
* Members of the community are introduced into the jail to work with inmates;
* The inmates involved in the program have less trouble trying to transition into continued
follow up with the non-profit agency after release;
* Inmates are introduced to citizens from throughout the community as teachers and role
models in a non-adversarial role;
* The non-profit agency provides training to the volunteer base free of charge or at reduced
rates as part of their charter;
* Since most of these non-profit agencies have information distribution systems, such as
newsletters, regular meetings, information sharing networks, information about the jail and
this program are disseminated throughout the community by the non-profit agency and the
volunteer component;
* The non-profit agency is able to increase the number of individuals that it is serving, thus
8
971054
serving a larger portion of the community;
* With the programs staff of the jail overseeing the training courses in their entirety, each course
can be interrelated so that the skills being taught in one course correlate and enhance the skills
being taught in another course, ie: an inmate newsletter facilitated by Right to Read would
include elements from alcohol/drug training or the problem solving skills taught in the problem
solving course are utilized by the instructors in the parenting course.
During the assessment period, inmates will be asked if they would like to participate in a non-
denominational jail ministry program that provides a mentor from the inmate's church of choice. This
mentor will be able to visit the inmate while incarcerated. The inmate's family at the same period of
time may attend that church and hopefully will be "adopted" by that church thus building new
relationships within that church. Upon release from jail, it is hoped that the inmate will return to
his/her family which is in a new social environment. Training for the mentors and the local churches
involved is being provided by the Weld County Sheriffs Office in conjunction with Prison Fellowship
Ministries. Prison Fellowship Ministries is a non-denominational prisoner support group that is
involved in prison and jail ministries in hundreds of jails and prisons across the country. The training
that Prison Fellowship Ministries provides training for citizens from the community to enter and work
within the correctional setting. Approximately three months ago the Weld County Sheriffs Office
implemented its jail ministry program and currently has two hundred volunteers from local churches
ready to begin assisting in this endeavor,these volunteers come from all different faiths and churches
within our community.
9
971054
Three incentives are used to encourage and reward inmates for participating in these programs.
First,the Weld County Sheriffs jail supervises its inmates using a philosophy of direct supervision.
Direct supervision is a inmate management system in which the correctional officer works inside the
housing unit on a twenty four hour basis. This enables the correctional officer to proactively
supervise the inmates in the housing unit. It also helps the inmates to build a"community" within
their housing unit where rules, instead of individual inmate force control the environment. Second,
a reward system which is based on the inrnate's behavior. If an individual inmate follows the rules and
cooperates with the programs available to him/her,then he/she gets additional privileges. Some of
these privileges include extra recreational time, extra visiting time, extra commissary, and a more
comfortable living environment. If the inmate breaks the rules then there are added disciplinary
sanctions. Sanctions may include disciplinary lock down, segregation from other inmates, loss of
good behavior time, and loss of all privileges. The third incentive that the sheriffs office is working
towards is arranging with the courts, to set sentencing guidelines that correlate with the individual
training sessions. These would provide good time for having successfully completed which ever
training session that the programs staff in conjunction with the court deems necessary.
The Weld County Government is a major employer in Weld county and so being has a great deal of
influence with other employers in the county and with the Weld County Chamber of Commerce.
Negotiations are occurring with the Weld County Chamber of Commerce to assist inmates in locating
employment through this program. Another benefit, is that through the Chamber of Commerce
members, information about this effort will be further disseminated throughout the business
community of Weld County.
10
971054
Assessment of this program will be conducted by a third party evaluator, Dr. Juliana Taymans,
from Georgetown University(see Appendix F).
At the conclusion of each course inmates will be asked to evaluate the course. This will allow the
programs staff to determine the inmates perception of the instructor and the materials covered. This
will also allow the inmates to have a sense of ownership about the course and perhaps deeper
commitment to their successful completion.
Through the initial assessment process a pretest is completed to determine the inmates knowledge
of the subject. A release assessment could also be utilized as a post test to determine the increase of
knowledge or skills of particular inmates in specific areas. Both the pretest and post test as well as
the inmate course review will be statistically analyzed to determine how well each instructor and
course content is meeting the desired objects of the course. This will also be one of the criteria for
assessing success or failure of this program. The particular software programs utilized by
Employment Services of Weld County gives statistical data in these areas.
Each six months after an inmate has completed the program,the programs staff of the sheriffs office
will conduct a criminal history inquiry about the inmate through the National Crime Information
Network and ascertain if the inmate has been re-incarcerated throughout the United States since the
conclusion of the program. In addition, the programs staff will attempt to locate the inmate and
provide him/her with a questionnaire about the his/her progress after completing the program This
questionnaire can be completed either orally or in writing. This questionnaire will be designed in
11
971054
cooperation with the Weld County programs staff and Dr. Taymans.
Comparisons could be made of those inmates using several different groups.
* Those that were incarcerated in the Weld County jail prior to start of this program to those
that completed the program;
* A comparison to those inmates that were involved in all aspects of the program in to those
that were just involved in part of the program;
* A comparison of those inmates in different classifications that are involved in the program.
During the three year grant period,Dr. Taymans will conduct four site visits for her evaluation. The
first will occur approximately three months after the implementation of this program. The purpose
of this visit will be assure that the problem solving techniques are being properly applied and that the
other facets of this program are in place and functioning. Approximately six months after this
program begins Dr. Taymans will again return to Greeley to assess the program, develop evaluation
criteria,and work with the jail programs staff to train them on what information needs to be gathered
for her research. One year from the previous date or one and one half years after the beginning of
the program, Dr.Taymans will come to Greeley to gather whatever additional data she needs for her
evaluation report and will prepare a written report for the Weld County Sheriffs Office and the
United States Department of Education. At the conclusion of this project grant, Dr. Taymans will
prepare another evaluation report which will assess the success or failure of this project for the
previous three years and the probability of future success or failure.
12
971054
It is hoped that Dr.Taymans will utili7p the information gleaned from these sources to publish articles
in journals and present her findings at conferences as part of her professional growth. Members of
the programs staff and the project director(see Appendix G) will also prepare a paper and ask to
present that paper to members of both the American Correctional Association and the American Jail
Association at their national conferences during the second year of the grant. Additionally, the
project director will write and submit one article to professional correctional journal about the project
within three years.
The National Institute of Corrections, a training and information clearinghouse for the United States
Bureau of Prisons, is to begin using the Weld County jail as a model jail. In accordance with this
distinction, the National Institute of Corrections will be escorting classes from its Longmont,
Colorado training center to tour the Weld County jail. During these tours correctional officers and
correctional administrators from across the United States will be able to observe this program in
progress.
Additionally, Employment Services of Weld County will assign a job technician on a full time basis
to assist inmates. This job technician's vita is located in Appendix H. Employment Services is a
unique system which administers the programs and activities of Job Service, Job Training Partnership
Act(JTPA),and other training and support programs. Employment Services also delivers, on behalf
of the Department of Social Services,the employment, training, and related support activities for the
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families(TANF)and the Employment First Foo4 Stamp Job Search
Programs. Employment Services of Weld County has been nationally recognized for its innovation,
13
9'71054
creativity,and success of its programs. Through a cooperative agreement, the Weld County jail will
be able to interface the computers in the housing units of the jail with the Employment Services of
Weld County Learning Laboratory computer system. Additional duties of the job technician will be
to support this system by providing training to the counseling staff of the Weld County Jail. This will
enable them to utilize the computer system and provide job counseling to inmates during their
incarceration period. The job technician's position would be a full time position during the grant
period and would be reduced to a half time position at the conclusion of the grant as more of his/her
duties will be assumed by the counseling staff of the jail. By entering into this partnership between
the Weld County Jail and Employment Services of Weld County several benefits can be shared by
both and a tremendous benefit can be recognized for the inmates and community as a whole. These
benefits would include:
* The Weld County jail has access to $250,000.00 worth of hardware and software
computer programs which are specifically designed to teach adult learners. Part of
the software programs that would be available to the Weld County jail through this
partnership can be found in Appendix I.
* Employment Services of Weld County is able to provide additional services to
individuals that it might not otherwise reach.
* Inmates being released from the Weld County jail would be able to easily transition
into the job services program of the Employment Services office because they are
already familiar with the program and staff. Their records and assessments are
accessible there due to the close proximity of the jail and the Employment
Services office. (The Weld County jail is located less that a quarter of a mile from
14
971054
the Employment Services office.)
• Inmates following through with their training and commitments to the Employment
Services office would have continued access to the same job technician from the jail
program. Additionally,the Weld County Chamber of Commerce will work with its
members to support inmates and their families that work towards these goals.
Through publicizing this program and encouragement its members to become
involved and provide employment to inmates completing the program, inmates
chances of success will be enhanced..
* Community Service providers in such areas as alcohol/drug treatment, literacy,
parenting, and domestic violence will also be able to utilize the computer assisted
instruction within the jail to help them in the education of inmates. Initial assessments
of inmates in each of these areas would also be available to these service providers so
that they might more effectively assist the inmate in specific areas.
Three additional factors are important to this project. First, that it will be continued if it is successful
in reducing the recidivism rate. Second, that it will be continued if it assists inmates in their
reintegration back into the community. Third,that this project be supported by the inmate funds until
the five year evaluation. This project should be evaluated at the conclusion of three years and again
in five years by the Dr. Tayman,the Weld County Sheriff, and the Weld County Commissioners after
they have developed criteria as to what they deem as successful.
At the conclusion of this grant the costs associated with it would be diminished. The job technician
15
9'71054
position would be reduced to a halt time position. Computer services and contract services would
be maintained at current funding but the costs of computer upgrades and agreements would be
reduced to$14,500.00 annually. This would reduce the operating budget to approximately 53,500.00
per year.
To accomplish the third goal above, a fund which is currently being collected from the commissary
items purchased by inmates may be used. A projection of growth of these funds is listed below for
the grant period. 13istoricnlly, this fund has grown at a rate of 9% per year.

2000 16499.00 69821.00
In the year 2000 at the conclusion of the grant period there will be approximately$70,000.00 in this
account.
To continue this project the funds in this account along with those continuing to be deposited from
the commissary accounts will be used. A projection of these funds are listed below.

In the year 2002,as discussed above the consultant, the Weld County Commissioners, and the Weld
County Sheriff would re-evaluate this project and determine its success or failure. At that point, a
decision would be made to continue through Weld County funding or to discontinue it.

Program: Juliana M. Taymans. (1992) . PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS :
A Scri ted Unit of I struction for Adult Inmates. Washington,
DC: Author.
Rationale
This unit was developed for adult inmates in a jail pre-release
program. Most instruction in cognitive approaches to problem
solving span 8 to 15 sessions and are structured for small groups
of 6 to 10 individuals. Ideally, social skills needed_for
effective roblem solvin , such as communication skills, are also
integrated in o ro em solving training. This expands the
number of sessions devoted to this important skill.
Unfortunately, many correctional programs do not have the staff
or the time to devote to small group instruction over extended
sessions. This unit was developed to meet the eed foraaes for a h(r0
term training experience offered to large groups
or more) .
Research Base
This program was piloted in a jail prerelease program.
Participant evaluations indicated that they found this course
more interesting and more relevant than other courses in their
prerelease program.
Describe
PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS : A Scri ted Unit of Instruction for Adult
Inmates can be taught in 2-2 hour sessions. The first session
encompasses Parts 1 through 4 . The second session encompasses
Parts 5 through 10. Part ii can be added if there is time for
more sessions. The unit is flexibly designed into 11 parts which
consist of:
-Part -1: Introduction to problem solving
-Parts 2 - 9: Eight steps in the problem solving process
-Part 10: Putting the 8 steps together
-Part 11: Follow-up and reinforcement for
problem solving.
Parts 1 through 4 represent the material to be covered in one two
hour session. If more sessions are possible, the information and
activities in Parts 1 through
l througheasily each
can extended
ended'toscover 4
one hour sessions. In parts 4 ,
er
e
presented in the same format described
der aovan evorganizer is
iven. If.
In Parts 5 through 11, only
given. If these lesson parts are offered in more than one
12
971954
session, the instructor should develop an advance organizer for
' the sessions as well as developing more Review and Practice
activities.
This unit represents a cognitive approach to problem solving by
employing Cognitive _ actively
principles_of_..instructign. Duringunit
participants are learning steps to problem solving, act solving
working on problem solving skills, and applying p
robsteps to their problems. Since the unit focuses on developing
and practicing skills associated with effective problem solving,
it is possible for participants to leave the course with a new
ways to think about problems and concrete steps to use in working
through problems.
How Lessons Are Structured and Teaching Suggestions
The following cognitive components are embedded in the unit's
lessons.
Advance Organizer - The purpose of the advance organizer is to
set the agenda for the class session. This gives participants a
picture of what the session will entail. The advance organizer
can be written out or stated orally and serves as a road map for
both the instructor and participants. By discussing what will be
done in class, participants can see that the session has a
definite purpose. This can help participants transition from the
out-of-class environment to class expectations.
Review - A review serves as a bridge between previously covered
material and material to be learned. A review can consist of
instructor statements to remind participants about what was
covered in previous lesson parts. It can also be conducted by
asking questions to see what participants remember from
previously covered material . If participants have difficulty
answering review questions, then the instructor can take time to
review previous course content.
Introduction/Describe - The Introduction and Describe sections
tell participants about the specific problem solving step being
addressed. It is important to introduce the skill step and then
to describe the thinking processes and overt behaviors involved
in that step.
Rationale Building - As the instructor is discussing problem
solving it is good to spend time discussing reasons why engaging
in systematic problem solving steps can be helpful. It is
important to get offenders to offer reasons for using problem
solving as well as to give them reasons. Research tells us that
spending time talking about why a new cognitive skill can help
participants reach their goals, increases participant motivation
to use the skill . In this unit Rationale Building is included in
designated sections within lessons. Questions that are part of
13
971054
the Review and Wrap-up also serve this purpose. For example, in
1 Part 3 , one of the Wrap-up questions is: Why spend time thinking
about problems?
410 Modelinct - This is a very important and powerful part of
cognitive instruction. During the modeling portion of a lesson,
the instructor demonstrates both the thinking and overt behaviors
crucial to the skill step. The instructor 'thinks aloud'
so participants have a model of how they should be thinking. It
is important for the instructor to practice the model portions of
a lesson so the demonstration is fluid and without mistakes.
-Role :playing - Role playing can be used as a part of modeling or
as a way for participants to practice. Role plays simulate real
interactions between people. By having participants engage in
role plays the instructor can determine if participants can use
the skill steps to effectively engage in problem solving under
-.\\ simulated conditions. This can be a valuable tool for checking
participant understanding and ability to follow the skill steps.
Practice - The purpose of this unit is to teach a cognitive skill
- problem solving. As with the acquisition of any skill it is
important for participants to practice using the problem solving
steps. Practice can be in the form of individual or group use of
the problem solving steps.
Wrap-up - Just as it is important to provide an advance organizer
previewing what the session will address, it is important to
close each session with either a statement or questions which
help participants think about what has been addressed. Questions
can be used as a means of checking if participants understood the
lesson content.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in support of the Life Skills for State and Local Prisoners Program grant for the Weld
County Jail. Since September, 1996, Right to Read of Weld County, Inc. has been working in
partnership with the Weld County Sheriffs Office to provide life skills and adult basic education to
inmates in the jail.
Right to Read of Weld County,Inc. is a non-profit adult literacy program providing an educational
environment for adults that nurtures lifelong learning and fosters literacy and self-reliance. Our program
at the jail focuses on problem solving, reading, writing, and math skills to aid inmates in making the
transition back into the community upon release. Our goal is to have inmates continue their education
with our program after their release, and to reduce the rate of recidivism.
The staff of the Weld County Jail has been supportive of this program and they encourage inmates to
take advantage of every opportunity to improve their situation through education. They have made the
effort to make education and life skills a priority for the inmates, and have provided assistance in many
ways to our staff It is apparent that Ken Poncelow and the jail staff have a strong desire to see others
succeed and to help build cooperation between the Weld County Sheriffs office and agencies in the
community that can partner with them and provide services to inmates.
I strongly support their application for funding from this program. Please give me a call if I can answer
any questions about this program.
Sincerely,am
