FOX LAKE, Wis. -- A Cardinal Stritch University instructor is helping teach Wisconsin teachers to help prison inmates' children.

Angel Clark teaches a two-day continuing education class for teachers on how to respond to students with imprisoned parents.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons said that children with a parent in prison are six times more likely to serve time themselves.

But Clark said that those children can be just as successful as others if given the right help. She talks to teachers about being flexible with homework, getting involved beyond the classroom and ways to lighten the load for the parent still at home.

Twenty teachers participated in last month's class, which included a visit to the Fox Lake Correctional Institution.

Clark said that she hopes to expand the class in the future.
