TEEM has an effective reentry program model. Here is an excerpt from its November 2014 newsletter.

TEEM holistically prepares participants for self-sufficiency by offering various courses. With a curriculum that includes over 14 classes, TEEM aims to remove various barriers of incarceration as participants transition back into the community.
Common reentry
obstacles facing incarcerated individuals include access to employment, life
skills, education and basic resources and needs. TEEM aims to offset these
barriers by offering a wide variety of services. Participants have the option
to obtain their GED at TEEM. Students enrolled in TEEM’s GED course receive
instruction in all six subjects required for the test: Reading, Writing,
Science, Social Studies, Math and Written Easy.
Because 95
percent of TEEM’s participants are parents, an interactive parenting curriculum
specifically designed for men with children, known as On My Shoulders is
available in-house. Another highly populated course offered at TEEM is the
Oklahoma Health and Health Administration Training Program. This course
provides training for workers and employers of the recognition, avoidance,
abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces.
