Legitimate Learning Through Authentic Human Connection: The Prison Re-Entry and Education Program (PREP) as an Example of Transformation for Faculty, Students, Administration, and Classified Staff (Flex)

When you hear about the Prison Re-Entry and Education Program (PREP) at FLC, you may think it is designed to transform the lives of the students, but that is an inaccurate oversimplification. Rather, this program offers an invitation for legitimate learning through authentic human connection, reminding faculty involved what they entered the profession for and offering a unique professional learning experience with others. We’re all just learning together, growing in our connections with one another, and trying to create an experience that is truly transformative for all, from the students we are trying to serve, to the faculty, classified staff, and administrators who are engaged in this work.
