Recent release "Teaching Behind the Wire" from Page Publishing author Stanley Lockshin is about how he made a bold career transition to forever change his life after coming from working for twenty-five years in sales.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stanley Lockshin, who was in sales for twenty-five years, and in education for eighteen years, has completed his new book "Teaching Behind the Wire": an intriguing work that explores how he decided to go back to teaching, but of course, not at a public school, but rather at the California Department of Corrections, the institution where he worked until he retired.
According to Lockshin, "In (my) first career, (I) won many sales awards, causing a substantial sense of personal accomplishment in its very own right. And yet, it was the second career teaching at a state prison that proved to be more satisfying and rewarding. (I) taught the GED program at Lancaster State Prison, a maximum security facility in the Antelope Valley, California. There, (I) managed a very successful program. The average percentage of students who passed the GED was about 80 percent. Furthermore, (I) served as vice principal numerous times and a senior member of the principal advisory group, and received many awards during (my) eighteen-year career."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Stanley Lockshin's inspiring work covers the daily routine of working with inmates, security guards, and the teachers of the Education Department.
Lockshin describes what it is like to be placed in a yard full of inmates with lifetime sentences, as well as how to convert those who have failed themselves and society, killers who couldn't care less about an education, and turn negative activity to positive activity step by step. Readers will discover that, even with all the downsides, Lockshin was able to provide an optimistic success via the GED program.
Readers who wish to experience this educational work can purchase "Teaching Behind the Wire" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
