Positive Youth Development for Childcare Providers - Philadelphia DHS
- 1. Introduction to Positive Youth Development
- 3. Workshop Objectives 1. Define resiliency 2. Provide a basic definition of Positive Youth Development 3. Explain at least two things that make the Deficit Model different from the Positive Youth Development Approach 4. List the three protective factors associated with resiliency and PYD: 1. Relationships 2. Expectations and 3. Opportunities. 5. Give three examples of how they DO or CAN use a PYD strategy in their programs.
- 4. DHS Outcomes • Improve Life Skills • Improve Relationships • Increased Engagement in Learning • Increased Engagement in School • Aspires to Academic Excellence • Prepared for College and Career
- 5. What is PYD & Where Does it Come From?
- 6. A Working Definition of PYD Positive Youth Development (PYD) is an intentional strategy or framework for helping young people meet their basic developmental needs (moral, social, cognitive, emotional & physical) by focusing on the whole child, not just a single problem that needs to be ‘fixed’. It builds off of young people’s strengths (assets) and is age/developmentally appropriate. PYD is grounded in the desire to help young people be/become resilient and views three key things as protective factors to help build resiliency: 1. Positive relationships 2. Clear, fair & high expectations and 3. Opportunities to connect, navigate and be productive.
- 7. The Deficit Model of the 1980s
- 8. Resiliency Research of the 1990s The research showed that kids were able to ‘bounce back’ from adversity if they have three protective factors: 1. Caring relationships with adults & peers 2. Clear, fair and high expectations 3. Opportunities to connect, navigate & be productive
- 9. The Shift in the 1990’s PYD Model •Good for ALL kids •Build resiliency •Draws from STRENGTHS (Assets) •Focuses on WHOLE child (S, M, C, P, & E) development) •Age/developmentally appropriate •An approach/strategy that can be used in almost any setting Deficit Model •Divides kids into groups (‘at risk’) •Tries to fix a single problem (teen pregnancy) •Doesn’t address the WHOLE child •Often relies on resources/systems outside the community

- 12. The Bottom Line
- 13. Pause/Check-in
- 14. Reflecting on Resiliency: Relationships, Expectations & Opportunities • Think of a time when you were between 11-15 and an adult had high expectations of you. What was that like? • (How) did they set you up for success? • Think of a time when you were between 11-15 and the types of opportunities you had to CONNECT with others, NAVIGATE new experiences and be PRODUCTIVE (CONTRIBUTE) • Think back to a time between the ages of 11-15. • What relationships were important to you? • Which ADULT relationships were important to you?

Editor's Notes
- Ask who is familiar with the DHS outcomes? Tell people throughout the workshop we will be talking about how PYD can help to meet DHS Outcomes.
- Positive Youth Development (PYD) is an intentional a strategy or framework for helping young people meet their basic developmental needs (moral, social, cognitive, emotional & physical) by focusing on the whole child, not just a single problem that needs to be ‘fixed’.

- There is a move in the field as a result of resiliency research, from a deficit model to the positive youth development model. Deficit model showed NO long term effects. So there was a study called: Resiliency Research that asked the question: What enable kids to bounce back in the face of adversity?
- This is what the study of resiliency found (resiliency research)

- Mission driven programming Expectations for high-quality programming Viable workforce/career option Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Tensions still exist: Funding, deliverables/outcomes, staffing, etc.
- If we want young people to develop the qualities we listed at the beginning we MUST use a PYD approach; we must help them to be/become resilient. We can use the three protective factors as a check-in for our work. Are we building positive relationships? Are our expectations clear, fair & high? Do we create opportunities for young people to connect, to navigate & be productive And we know that these things can be seen, felt and heard in our programs. We are going explore that more in the 2nd half of the session.
- Show slide and give people 3 minutes to brainstorm reactions to this activity.
- Congratulations a news crew is coming out to your site to capture PYD and resiliency building in action. Your job is to create a news cast (skit) that will feature PYD in action. Here is the criteria for your skit/news cast.
- Take this time to reflect on the day- what have you learned? What are you taking back with you?
