THIS WILL MAKE TRACKING EVERYONES WORK EASIER AND ALL TASKS AND ASSIGNMENTS ARE MANAGED, TRACKED, REPORTED, AND WILL GIVE US SOLID METRICS ON EVERYONES WORK. IT WILL ENHANCE THE REMOTE TEAMS ABILITY TO COLLABORATE AND SERVE THE STUDENTS. WE COMPLETED EXTENSIVE CONSULTING WITH EXPERTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE OUR STUDENT AND CLIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. WE HAD A MODIFIED SEMESTER IN FALL OF 2021 TO ALLOW FOR OUR STAFF AND FACULTY TO FOCUS ON THE CHANGES WE NEEDED. ISLAMIC EDUCATION:-COMPLETED MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING COURSES TO BOOST STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND INTERACTION WITH FACULTY. WE TESTED MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN EXISTING COURSES TO ENHANCE INTERACTION BETWEEN OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR INSTRUCTORS, ESPECIALLY MORE ONE-TO-ONE TEACHING AND MENTORING. THERE HAS BEEN A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN STUDENT INTERACTION. MORE STUDENTS ARE CALLING, WRITING, AND EMAILING THAN EVER BEFORE AND THE OVERALL PROCESS IS GOING MUCH SMOOTHER.-THE RAPID INCREASE OF STUDENT ENROLLMENT AT TAYBA RESULTED IN THE NEED TO CREATE AN ESSENTIAL CURRICULUM. AS WE ASSESSED THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF A SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION WE SERVE, WE LEARNED THAT MANY OF THE STUDENTS DROP OR FAIL THE COURSES DUE TO THE ACADEMIC LEVEL OF THE MATERIAL AND OTHER LEARNING CHALLENGES. IT BECAME CLEAR THAT A NEW TRACK FOR THESE STUDENTS WAS NEEDED. THE TAYBA ACADEMY TEAM WAS JOINED BY EXPERTS IN THE FIELD TO DEVELOP AN ALTERNATE 6-COURSE CURRICULUM THAT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THOSE IN NEED.-COMPLETED OVERHAUL OF OUR EXISTING LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS PROVIDING A BETTER STUDENT EXPERIENCE. THIS WILL ENABLE ALL TAYBA TEAMS TO WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT EVERY STUDENT OR CLIENT WE WORK WITH GETS EVERYTHING NEEDED. WITH OUR RAPIDLY EXPANDING STUDENT BODY, SERVICES, AND TEAM, THINGS ARE GETTING MORE COMPLICATED. CUSTOMIZING OUR STUDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REQUIRED HIGHLY-SKILLED AND SPECIALIZED DEVELOPERS.-MADE CRUCIAL NEW HIRES TO OUR FACULTY AND STAFF TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE OF OUR STUDENTS. LIFE SKILLS:-LAUNCHED AN ADDITIONAL MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING COURSE, FOCUSED ON GIVING STUDENTS THE SKILLS TO CHANGE THEMSELVES AND THOSE AROUND THEM.-LAUNCHED AN ISLAMIC 12-STEP ADDICTION RECOVERY PROGRAM, DESIGNED BY TAYBA STUDENTS IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR LIFE SKILLS DEPARTMENT. -THE BOOK WE PUBLISHED THIS YEAR FOR THE ADDICTION PROGRAM IS TITLED, OVERCOMING ADDICTION: AN ISLAMIC APPROACH TO RECOVERY, AND WAS WRITTEN BY TWO CURRENTLY-INCARCERATED TAYBA STUDENTS. THE BOOK HAS ALREADY RECEIVED A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION FROM PEOPLE IN THE FIELD OF ADDICTION TREATMENT. -ESTABLISHED A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE (COP): A LARGE GROUP OF PRISONER-LED GROUP FACILITATORS TO SHARE FEEDBACK AND DEVELOP BETTER PRACTICES. THE MAIN AREA OF FOCUS THIS YEAR WAS OUR TAYBE LEGAL INITIATIVE WHERE WE HAD OVER 225 STUDENTS SHARE ESSAYS, EXPERIENCES, SUGGESTIONS AND MORE WITH THE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE.RE-ENTRY:-SECURED STATE GRANT FUNDING AND ESTABLISHED AN IN-PERSON REENTRY CLINIC IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY (ONE OF THOSE MOST ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA) TO PROVIDE KEY RESOURCES LIKE FOOD, COUNSELING, COMMUNITY FACILITIES. -PROVIDED CLIENTS SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES, ANGER MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY SERVICES VIA PSYCHOEDUCATION, WORKBOOKS, DISCUSSIONS, ETC. SUCCESSFULLY HELPED CLIENTS GET DISCHARGED FROM PAROLE AND/OR PROBATION, ACQUIRE JOBS AND SERVICES. -SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY PROBATION AND PAROLE ARE CONSTANTLY REFERRING THEIR SUPERVISEES TO TAYBA FOUNDATION FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE/MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. ESTABLISHED A NUMBER OF COLLABORATIONS WITH LOCAL PROGRAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO HAVE THEIR CLIENTS REFER TO TAYBA AND FOR TAYBA TO REFER OUR CLIENTS TO THEM FOR THEIR SERVICES. -OFFERED A WEEKLY ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASS WHICH, UPON COMPLETION, THE PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE. WE ALSO RUN A NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATIONS CLASS IN WHICH ALL PARTICIPANTS WHO COMPLETE THE CURRICULUM WILL ALSO RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE. - HELD VARIOUS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAMS INCLUDING BOTH WEEKLY GROUPS AS WELL AS ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS. WE COVERED VARIOUS TOPICS RELATED TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE RECOVERY SUCH AS COPING MECHANISMS (AGAINST SUBSTANCE ABUSE) AND INTERPERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS SKILLS.A MEASURED OUTCOME OF THIS PROGRAM WAS THAT THE PARTICIPANTS WOULD HAVE LEARNED THE SKILLS PRESENTED TO THEM. -SECURED A GRANT FROM A PRIVATE FOUNDATION TO LAUNCH A PROJECT FOCUSING ON THE NEEDS OF WOMEN IN PRISON AND REENTRY, TITLED PROJECT FATIMA. PROJECT FATIMA AIMS TO: INCREASE ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP, AMONGST WOMEN THROUGH SACRED LEARNING IN PRISON AND AFTER RELEASE. PROVIDE RELEVANT AND COMPASSIONATE COACHING, ADVICE, AND SUPPORT FROM TRAINED AND QUALIFIED MENTORS INCLUDING FEMALE TAYBA STAFF WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE OF INCARCERATION. THE PROJECT ALSO AIMS TO CREATE A NETWORK OF PEOPLE WHO CAN FACILITATE THE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, AND FOSTERS SUPPORT ACROSS A NORMALLY DISCONNECTED COMMUNITY. 2022 GOALS:GENERAL-ADD AN ADDITIONAL OFFICE LOCATION IN ANOTHER STATE TO BETTER SERVE OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN PRISONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND PAROLING NATIONALLY. -COMPLETE REMAINING DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO OUR STUDENT AND CLIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
