University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee. Advocate Education Program--Teacher Corps for Corrections, Milwaukee. Office of the Director.

The Advocate Education Program--Teacher Corps for Corrections (AEP-TCC) was designed to educate students and other program participants in how to deal with problems and potentials of "conflict youth," as they were "apprehended" in the community or school system, as they became involved with the court and correctional systems, and as they were returned to the community after these experiences. Nearly all activities in the program were under the direction of the Local Education Agency (LEA), which was incorporated in 1972. The LEA was a citizen participation advisory group made up of delegates and representatives from agencies in the community that deal with conflict adolescents. Its purpose was to administer the AEP-TCC; to exercise fiscal, policy and operational control over the AEP-TCC; to work for the economic, educational, sociological and psychological welfare and betterment of the community and of individuals, groups and families in the community.
