The California Probation Writing Academy is a 21-hour course designed to help attendees enhance their writing skills by using appropriate writing mechanics and techniques, as well as providing practical experience in writing reports and case notes. The course is structured to include lectures, group discussions, and individual and group exercises.

The first day of the class is virtual and will include a review of grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and documentation. Days two and three will be in-person and will begin with a discussion on emotional bias in reports and proofreading, followed by a review of case notes and reports commonly submitted in Probation Departments (i.e., Memos, Progress Reports, Incident Reports, and evaluations for sentencing reports). At the conclusion of the Academy, participants will understand the focus and importance of each report reviewed and will gain practical experience in writing reports and public speaking by presenting their written work to the class
