LESSON 5 The Constructive Use of Roles in Juvenile Corrections Presented by THE NATURAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

THE CONSTRUCTIVE USE OF ROLES IN JUVENILE CORRECTIONS 1.Residents develop role related social skills through the various Stars and Stripes programs such as: community government, mediation, work roles, mentoring, tutoring, and role expectations related to stars and stripes ranks. 2.Maturity coaches assist residents with respect to how to understand the nature of roles, learning the social skills related to roles held, and how to optimize the power of the pro-social roles in the Stars and Stripes community activities, in interaction with peers, with family, and ultimately in their home communities. 3.Feedback from the objective measures of behavior and character related criteria for progress to each higher rank provides the youth with impersonal and clearly understandable external requirements and evaluations by which they can assess their behavior themselves and set new goals for their behavior. They also have concrete evidence for their progress which then becomes a basis for increased self-esteem. 4.Support teams facilitate the residents’ progression through pro-social roles related to Stars and Stripes ranks by assisting them in learning how to use their own good judgment and provide parent-like recognition and support.
