PASS Program
Providing Academic Student Support
Observation
Identifying Students for PASS
How does the PASS Program work?
YA Chosen Generation believes the key to a child’s academic success is to maintain a continuous open communication with the student, their teacher, their parents, and their group leaders. Therefore, with the support from the school district teachers, parents and our staff, we can “make dreams come true” on behalf of the youth we serve in our community.
“PASS” Methodology Intervention
Phase 1: Pre-placement includes the after school homework activities prior to “PASS” placement (e.g., YACG staff ensure that a less intensive and/or restricted “PASS” intervention is monitored).
Phase 2: Orientation focusing on instruction. At this phase, YACG staff begin to teach “PASS” classroom expectations, monitor and reinforce positive behavior and homework discipline strategies completing a homework assignment. YACG staff identifies youth’s academic work strengths and weaknesses, including but not limited to social skills and behavior. Phase 2 is brief and helps to identify each youth’s needs (e.g., academic needs and behavioral needs).
Phase 3: Inclusion and Maintenance move the youth from the “PASS” classroom into a more specific resource setting. YACG staff monitor the youth on a schedule designed to meet the youth’s needs (e.g., reinforcement of positive behavior is a key component of this phase).
Phase 4: Aftercare encourages students to move on to self-monitoring. Youth who have successfully participated in “PASS,” and become independent and responsible for completing “PASS” expectations, are encouraged to be mentors and role models to other youth.
“PASS” programming combines the above four (4) phases to assist the youth in the development of self-management skills, responsibility and independence. It also targets intensive social skills instruction with behavior monitoring and coaching support for the youth and the teacher.

Project-based learning
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
It is a central component of STEAM education and a hands-on, project-based learning. Children work on project’s specific to what issues appeal to them. They are encouraged to decide on a goal and choose which skills they want to explore to achieve it, allowing them to discover and experiment with various methods. The addition of an artistic component makes complex topics, such as math and programming more approachable and less mentally intimidating. On the other hand, traditional STEM projects, the emphasis isn’t on obtaining or analyzing facts or data. Projects are evaluated against a subjective criteria that values creativity, rather than whether the student has concluded a right or wrong answer. This method supports the child’s educational journey and promotes creative expression.

PASS in action:
Methodology
The program offers a positive approach, not only to the youth’s academic success, but also to support, inspire and encourage the youth to find his/her own hiding potentials, such as artistic talents.
What does “PASS” bring to the table? The “PASS” methodology is to manage the youth’s behavior and help identify youth-at-risk behavior. “PASS” incorporates a non-levels-based, individualized approach that provides explicit teaching of behavioral expectations in mainstream settings. In turn, “PASS” uses a “Functional Behavior” methodology with daily and weekly behavioral analysis to guide intervention. Depending on the youth’s academic and behavioral needs, the approach of “PASS” methodology implements the following four interventions:
“PASS” Methodology Intervention
