Earning Progress Level: The Steps
1. To apply to Progress level a student must earn 35 "Days toward Progress." If a student completes their work, does not go to II and earns at least 85% of their daily points then they can earn a "Day toward Progress." These "Days" do not need to be consecutive.
2. A student who is applying for Progress must not have had an Intensive Intervention Office Referrals in the past 15 days.
3. Once a student has earned the requirements, he or she requests a Progress Recommendation Form. This can be requested from Mr. B or Ms. Campbell.
4. The student gets their Progress Recommendation Form signed by ALL their teachers.
5. The student puts their completed Progress Recommendation Form in their Account Book and put their Account Book in the basket in the Intensive Intervention Room.
6. The student will then either receive an invitation to interview or a list of items still required.
7. The Program Manager approves and signs the Progress Application.
8. The Progress team (Mr. Barbaree/Ms. Campbell) interviews the student by reviewing the account book and the application with the student and discussing terms and expectations of Progress Level Students. This information is available on the back of the Progress Recommnendation Form.
If the student is absent on their interview date it is their responsibility to reschedule the interview.
9. The new Progress Student is awarded a Progress certificate, their picture is taken for the Progress Board and an email announcing the new Progress student is sent out to all staff.
10. When that email has been sent, it is at that time that the student is officially on Progress and is eligible for all Progress level privileges!

HOW IS PROGRESS MAINTAINED?
Students on Progress must continue to exhibit the positive behaviors that moved them up to that level. Therefore, they must earn an average of 85% of their total possible points every week.
If a PROGRESS student fails to make the
85% AVERAGE for the week, they are put on PROBATION.
If they earn 85% the following week – they are off PROBATION.
If students do not make the 85% AVERAGE for two weeks in a row, they are OFF PROGRESS.
This calculation has to be done by the teacher and if a student falls off Progress due to not earning the required 85% average for two weeks in a row the teacher must report this to the Progress Committee.

HOW IS PROGRESS LEVEL LOST?
Students can lose their PROGRESS level by not maintaining 85% of their points as described above.
OR
By earning two Intensive Intervention Office Referrals (I.I.) within a 15 day period.
A Progress student is put "On Contract" when they earn an II. This contract lasts 15 days. If the student earns another II within these 15 days, they lose their Progress level.
OR
Progress students who are in EII (extended II) for longer than 1/2 Day lose their Progress level. This is if a student earns more than 1/2 day to begin with OR earns less than 1/2 day and draws it out into more than 1/2 due to inappropriate behavior or unexcused absences.
OR
Any Progress student who earns an OSS (out-of-school suspension) is immediately OFF Progress.
OR

15 days before applying to Progress.

Rationale:
The behavior and social skills program at CGCA is a vital component of the total educational service that is provided to the students that we serve. Students achieve Progress level when they have displayed socially positive skills and behaviors consistently over time. In our endeavor to see our students return to a less restrictive environment and to their area schools, encouraging them to attain Progress level is of tremendous benefit to them. Therefore it is essential that the process of moving up to and maintaining Progress is implemented with consistent fidelity across the program. Progress is an achievement that should be encouraged, complimented and recognized by all staff.
PROGRESS INCENTIVES!
Progress Parties
Progress Parties are for current Progress Students.
These parties are organized and planned in advance based on the number of Progress Students at the time. If you know - and you should - that a student will earn Progress on Party day - you must give the Progress Committee notice. No new Progress students will be added to a Progress Party List on the day of the party.
