1. Developing a Progressive Response Protocol
This powerpoint is a culmination of lots of other topics and focuses on putting these pieces together into a cohesive system. If you have not looked at other topics such as Restorative Practices Basics, Lenses Overview, PROMPT, or Defining Youth Behavior, please do so before continuing.

2. Before (PROACTIVE)
Before we begin our systems, we need to be sure we are taking a look at our work through our lenses. Do we have a focus on bringing implicit bias out in the open? Do we use trauma informed practices to provide the most supporting learning environment? Do we use positive practices to put money in the bank and build relationships with and amongst youth so that we can use these relationships to build skills? Do we have high expecations of our youth and do they know what they are? All of this should be taken into account before beginning other systems work.

3. During (Progressive Response)
Using PROMPT and a teaching interaction (the last step of the PROMPT strategy) helps staff to progressively respond to youth behavior as they continue to not respond to staff direction. Consequences, discussed more later, are a part of this restorative system.

4. After (REPAIRING and PREPARING)

10. Corrective Consequences
Use the consequences you have within the system.
Use the Corrective Consequences page to generate new ideas.
Ensure that consequences meet long-term objectives and not just short-term goals.

11. Following Challenging Behavior
Communicate

12. Reconnect and Repair Start putting more money in the bank
Check where your response was in the window
Repair harm by rebuilding community in the afterschool space
Talk about what happened with all involved to clear the air
