Second Step Bullying Prevention Lessons

Each grade level recieves 4 bullying prevention lessons. These lessons focus on the 3 R's of bullying: Recongizing, Reporting, and Refusing. Students are taught to identify when bullying is happening, how to report to a caring adult, and how to use a strong, respectful voice to refuse bullying. Lastly, students are taught about being a bystander to bullying and how they can use their 'bystander power' to help get bullying to stop and how to be a supportive bystander.

In April, all grade levels recieve one lesson on careers and future planning. In kindergarten-2nd grade, we read a book about careers and have a discussion about what they might want to be when they grow up. In 3rd grade, we explore different careers through the use of a career exploration website. In 4th-5th grade, we discuss academic planning, different degrees, and do a career exploration project using the website mynextmove.org.
