PATRICK GOVERNOR 617.727.7575 FAX#: 617.951.2409 TIMOTHY P. MURRAY LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JUDYANN BIGBY, M.D. SECRETARY JANE E. TEWKSBURY, Esq. COMMISSIONER Dear Colleagues: The Massachusetts Department of Youth Services, in partnership with the Commonwealth Corporation and the Collaborative for Educational Services, is working together to develop a comprehensive education and training system for the thousands of young people placed in DYS custody every year by the juvenile courts. We are expanding and enriching the continuum of options and opportunities—including high quality education and training, comprehensive case management, mentoring programs, and other services—to give youth in the care and treatment of the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to build a better future. As teachers, you may play a primary role in helping the young people in DYS cultivate their gifts and improve their lives. Many of our students may have struggled in traditional educational settings, and many others have excelled. By affirming and attending to students’ individual learning needs and interests, you have the opportunity to help them enter a true journey of learning and achievement. As teaching professionals in DYS, you work hard to deliver high quality, content-rich learning opportunities that address the needs of all students. To help you adapt traditional social studies curricula and textbooks for use in your classrooms, we have compiled vital information, stimulating resources, culturally responsive and positive youth development strategies, and sound pedagogical practices for teaching in detention, assessment, and treatment facilities across the state. We hope that this guide will assist you in your important work. Many of these instructional materials have been created and adapted by teachers within the DYS system. The content of this guide is deeply rooted in the rich experiences of teachers in DYS and other facilities serving youth similar to our
