Transforming Community Supervision: Leadership, Learning, and Lasting Impact

The National Institute of Corrections, in collaboration with Justice System Partners, has designed and delivered a cross-management, 9-month leadership learning experience that includes live virtual and interactive sessions, guided self-learning, and in-person networking. This blended training model aims to help leaders, ranging from front-line supervisors all the way through executive leadership, grow in their current positions and provide them with the most up-to-date material needed to effectively implement and sustain evidence-based interventions through transformational leadership skills and a people-centered lens.  The Community Supervision Leadership Learning Lab (CSLLL) was first piloted with three sites in 2022-2023 (including Kansas, Michigan, and Texas), and then expanded to five additional sites in 2023-2024 (including Alaska, Chicago, Maryland, New Hampshire, and North Dakota). Extensive pre/post data was collected to gauge the success of the training and will be shared with attendees along with participant feedback and facilitator observations. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to participate in training activities to better understand how to apply the concepts within their organization.

    Jordyn Rosario
    Research Associate, Justice System Partners
    Jordyn (she/her) is a research associate with Justice System Partners. She received her doctorate and master’s degrees in criminology from Florida State University and her bachelor’s degree in sociology and criminal justice from the University of Georgia. Her research uses quantitative methods to study the effects of childhood victimization and disproportionate minority contact on juvenile reoffending among justice-involved youth, individual and neighborhood factors that contribute to the non-reporting of intimate partner violence to police, and racial and ethnic disparities in GED/HSED program completion among an incarcerated population. Her dissertation, entitled “An Examination of the Mediating Effects of Negative Emotionality on the Relationship Between Childhood Victimization and Juvenile Reoffending,” used official juvenile justice data to study the mediating effects of negative emotionality on the relationship between victimization and subsequent juvenile reoffending. Jordyn’s research interests focus on social justice, the causes and consequences of victimization and criminal justice system involvement, social stratification, and disparate outcomes in the criminal justice system.
