Overview

Correctional Educators teach incarcerated adult students in small classes using specially designed curriculum adapted to a wide range of academic levels, educational histories, and learning goals. Instruction may span Adult Basic Education - reading, writing, mathematics, speaking, listening, and study skills - as well as secondary-level courses including science, literacy, mathematics, global citizenship, art, health, physical education, and career & technical education.

In addition to classroom instruction, Correctional Educators serve as academic advisors, developing personalized learning plans informed by transcripts, assessments, prior learning, and individual student goals. Educators provide ongoing guidance to help students navigate educational pathways, persist through challenges, and work toward skills development, high school completion, postsecondary readiness, or other meaningful outcomes.

Correctional Educators prepare, administer, and interpret specialized and standardized assessments and use assessment data to inform instruction and placement decisions. They collaborate as members of local Educational Support Teams (EST), including IDEA, 504, and other specialized curriculum teams, and contribute to a multidisciplinary approach to student support.

\ Additional responsibilities include maintaining accurate student progress, attendance, and transcript records within the student information system, reviewing and refining curriculum and instructional practices, and contributing professional judgment to ensure alignment with established educational standards and accreditation expectations.

The State of Vermont reimburses employees for required licensing and certification fees. Educators with literacy backgrounds are preferred but not required. Strong candidates will demonstrate flexibility, reflective practice, and a commitment to education as a meaningful and transformative process within a correctional setting.

Environmental Factors

Work is performed in an institutional setting with continuous exposure to and interaction with incarcerated individuals. Security is a constant concern. Some travel may be required, necessitating a valid driver\'s license and access to private transportation. Incarcerated individuals may display belligerent, threatening, or manipulative behavior, posing a potential risk or physical danger.
