COVID19 Project!
I have several LEP students right now that don't quite have extra time to come down to study in person in the school. I worked up some neat templates to create simple mini-books that highlight common things here in America. Workers, Health Issues, Transportation, etc...
The PLA training materials explain how the language experience approach can help adult learners master this language.
This resource is for just that. Take one or two of the mini-books and use them in your classes.
They are EASY to modify using Microsoft Word. They are EASY to print if you follow the directions I set on the cover page.
I plan to issue one book at a time to my students, when they can read it well I will give them a different book.

I used Wikipedia & Wikivoyage (RACHEL PROGRAMS) that we have available for our Correctional Ed Students. [No Internet, EVER for them fyi.] These trivia programs I tend to hold periodically throughout the year. I like to hold them around the holidays since they are rather depressed.
If your students have the full internet, they will be NO challenge for them. But with limited resources, they might take interest in some of the trivia here. It is mostly Geographical.
We gave out small prizes for the most correct, requiring complete sentences in their answers.

Students will be introduced to Environmental Crime and Law.  Students will consider critical questions such as, why study environmental harm?  Should these harms be considered crimes?  Furthermore, where might criminal justice and environmental degradation intersect?  A theoretical foundation will be surveyed as well as a short historical analysis of environmental movements.  The course will then turn toward looking at Environmental Crime Investigation, which organizations and databases are used for data collection, and some future issues and challenges that may emerge. 

Short Description:
In this book, you will examine the moral and ethical issues that exist within law enforcement. This book will also familiarize you with the basic history, principles, and theories of ethics.

Long Description:
In this book, you will examine the moral and ethical issues that exist within law enforcement. This book will also familiarize you with the basic history, principles, and theories of ethics. These concepts will then be applied to the major components of the criminal justice system: policing, the courts, and corrections. Discussion will focus on personal values, individual responsibility, decision making, discretion, and the structure of accountability. Specific topics covered will include core values, codes of conduct, ethical dilemmas, organizational consequences, liability, and the importance of critical thinking. By the end of this book, you will be able to distinguish and critically debate contemporary ethical issues in law enforcement.

This volume contains the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and forms as amended to December 1, 2011. These rules govern the federal appellate circuit courts. They are promulgated by the Supreme Court of the United States under the authority of Title 28 of the United States Code and appear in the Appendix to Title 28 of the United State Code. They are made available by the United States government on the Federal Digital System (FDSYS.)

These rules govern the conduct of all criminal proceedings brought in Federal courts. Our Federal Rules ebooks include: The complete rules as of December 1, 2012 (for the 2013 edition); All notes of the Advisory Committee following each rule; Internal links to rules referenced within the rules; and external links to the LII website's version of the US Code.

These rules govern the introduction of evidence in proceedings, both civil and criminal, in Federal courts. While they do not apply to suits in state courts, the rules of many states have been closely modeled on these provisions. Our Federal Rules ebooks include: The complete rules as of December 1, 2012 (for the 2013 edition); All notes of the Advisory Committee following each rule; Internal links to rules referenced within the rules; and external links to the LII website's version of the US Code.

The basis for the development of this guidebook came about after a publisher had discontinued a text I had been using for a number of years in my patrol operations course. The text Police Officer’s Response Guide to Crimes/Incidents in Progress: by Nate Tanguay was designed for field patrol officers to have a reference book they could use in the field to assist then while on calls. Over the years I have had my students use this text and put in updated response concepts for call for service, as well as, specific state laws, paperwork requirements and other required duties for specific calls. With the discontinuation of the text, I made the determination to create my own guidebook with the updated response concepts that are being taught in law enforcement and reclassifying each call for service under the new National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) that the FBI will be implementing by 2021. With this project I was able to participate in Minnesota State Open Educational Resource (OER) Faculty Development to assist me in the development of this guidebook.

Our goal in writing this text was to provide a comprehensive overview of the diverse and broad field of forensic psychology, including applications in both the criminal and civil legal systems, with a focus on the Canadian experience. The core topics include forensic assessment in the criminal and civil domains, treat- ment, children and juveniles in the legal system, eyewitness testimony, police and police investigations, jury decision making, and correctional psychology.

This text provides edited and abridged cases that are intended to be easy to read and provide lower-division students with a gentle introduction to key legal concepts that define the workings of our criminal justice system. These cases are designed to accompany the textbook Criminal Justice: An Overview of the System.

A social/behavioral science research methods text appropriate for a first course. The focus is on writing and using the APA Style.

Throughout my career I have created hundreds of educational files for my students. I am sharing those that I am able to. I have PowerPoints, and custom worksheets available here in the link attached. I have more resources for Science & Math. My classroom is considered Adult Basic Education/ Corrections.
I have modified dozens of publisher-developed materials to make them more LD-friendly so to speak.
Take a look, I hope you find something that you can use.

Indigenous Women and Girls Torn from Our Midst, 2nd Edition

Short Description:
Laying our Canadian stories alongside the global phenomenon of femicide in other colonized countries such as Mexico and Guatemala, this book underscores the common, interlocking effects of racism and sexism on Indigenous women. Family members, scholars and researchers, artists, activists and policy-makers provide their decade-long perspectives, providing testimony and evidence that sexualized and racialized violence is not only a product of historic colonization but continues to manifest in entrenched systems of colonization and global femicide. The analysis and the heart of all the authors is generously shared, exemplifying what resistance looks like.

Long Description:
Global Femicide: Indigenous Women and Girls Torn from our Midst brings Canadian, Mexican and Guatemalan stories together to show that the interlocking systems of sexualized and racialized violence is not only a product of historic colonization but continues to be entrenched as deliberate systems of colonization and global femicide. Using reflections from Torn from our Midst: Voices of Grief, Healing and Action from the 2008 MMIW Conference, this book is uniquely situated to provide a decades-long retrospective on what, if anything has changed since the time of that conference. Roadblocks and successes are found in the chapters written by family members, scholars and researchers, artists, global activists and Canadian policy-makers.

This book is designed to be readable and approachable, taking an Indigenous feminist approach of including personal stories of family members as well as critical analyses of history, governmental policies, intimate partner violence and health, and intergenerational art activism. Issues around governmental manipulation in the Canadian Indian Act, Mexican families’ resistance to neo-liberal economics as it pertains to the vulnerability of women workers in maquiladoras as well as the rampant environmental crisis, and the devastation wreaked by complicit governments and police forces in Guatemala all have bearing on the specific vulnerability of Indigenous women. Book sections provide specific recommendations, such as the chapters on pedagogical and administrative transformation at the university level. The book is driven by the underlying question of how we can best prepare and support young adults in work that redresses structural colonialism and violence against women. Each chapter serves as a call to all global citizens to engage in the work of decolonization, reconciliation (or “setting things right” as Maria Campbell teaches us) and justice. The analysis and the heart of all the authors is generously shared, exemplifying what resistance looks like.

This book has been specifically created to make it easier for professors to offer a law school course on global corruption. It is issued under a creative commons license and can be used for free in whole or in part for non-commercial purposes. The first chapter sets out the general context of global corruption: its nature and extent, and some views on its historical, social, economic and political dimensions. Each subsequent chapter sets out international standards and requirements in respect to combating corruption – mainly in the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and the OECD Bribery of Foreign Officials Convention (OECD Convention). The laws of the United States and United Kingdom are then set out as examples of how those Convention standards and requirements are met in two influential jurisdictions. Finally, the law of Canada is set out. Thus, a professor from Africa, Australia, New Zealand or English speaking countries in Asia and Europe has a nearly complete coursebook – for example, that professor can delete the Canadian sections of this book and insert the law and practices of his or her home country in their place. While primarily directed to a law school course on global corruption, this book will be of interest and use to professors teaching courses on corruption from other academic disciplines and to lawyers and other anti-corruption practitioners.
