The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper and matrix focusing on management styles and tools that can be used in today’s correctional environment and climate.
As you look to apply concepts from this course to your role as a corrections manager, you will find it is sometimes challenging to translate theory and research into practice. The research paper and matrix provides you with an opportunity to synthesize course concepts as they relate to your career in corrections management. You will assume your choice of role as a corrections supervisor, describe a problem currently facing your workplace, and apply what you have learned about leadership and communication, ethics, and law and legislation to develop an effective managerial philosophy to implement into your practice.
This project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Four, Five, Seven, and Ten.

b. Identify a problem of practice affecting the current field of corrections management.
