Equity and Excellence in Practice: A Guide for Higher Education in Prison (Discussion Guide and Instructions)

This discussion guide is a useful tool for facilitators leading thoughtful conversations about the content in the report, and for notetakers seeking to capture important ideas and action items. You’ll find questions, materials, and guidelines, as well as instructions and tips for both facilitators and notetakers. The purpose of the discussion guide is to create a dialogue among people who care about improving equity, access, and excellence in higher education in prison programs. Staff and program administrators can use this discussion guide to:
• Discuss opportunities and talk with students and other stakeholders about your program and about
higher education in prison more broadly.
• Support efforts to continuously improve the Equity and Excellence in Practice report.
• Guide the ongoing work of the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison.
The discussion guide ends with an invitation to share your feedback with the Alliance in an effort to help improve its programming efforts.
