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\u2019t on obtaining or analyzing facts or data.

The \u201cPASS\u201d methodology is to manage the youth\u2019s behavior and help identify youth-at-risk behavior. \u201cPASS\u201d incorporates a non-levels-based, individualized approach that provides explicit teaching of behavioral expectations in mainstream settings. In turn, \u201cPASS\u201d uses a \u201cFunctional Behavior\u201d methodology with daily and weekly behavioral analysis to guide intervention. Depending on the youth\u2019s academic and behavioral needs, the approach of \u201cPASS\u201d methodology implements the following four interventions:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cPASS\u201d Methodology Intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 1<\/strong>: Pre-placement includes the after school homework activities prior to \u201cPASS\u201d placement (e.g., YACG staff ensure that a less intensive and\/or restricted \u201cPASS\u201d intervention is monitored).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 2<\/strong>: Orientation focusing on instruction. At this phase, YACG staff begin to teach \u201cPASS\u201d classroom expectations, monitor and reinforce positive behavior and homework discipline strategies completing a homework assignment. YACG staff identifies youth\u2019s academic work strengths and weaknesses, including but not limited to social skills and behavior. Phase 2 is brief and helps to identify each youth\u2019s needs (e.g., academic needs and behavioral needs).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 3<\/strong>: Inclusion and Maintenance move the youth from the \u201cPASS\u201d classroom into a more specific resource setting. YACG staff monitor the youth on a schedule designed to meet the youth\u2019s needs (e.g., reinforcement of positive behavior is a key component of this phase).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 4<\/strong>: Aftercare encourages students to move on to self-monitoring. Youth who have successfully participated in \u201cPASS,\u201d and become independent and responsible for completing \u201cPASS\u201d expectations, are encouraged to be mentors and role models to other youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPASS\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"column\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_3'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize' style=' '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-824'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_two_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-88  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Click here to add your own text<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-824","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=824"}],"version-history":[{"count":183,"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1955,"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/824\/revisions\/1955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yacgphilly.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
