Second Step

Second Step is taught weekly in every classroom to all students. This is the primary SEL curriculum used throughout the school. The lessons provide instruction in social and emotional learning with units on skills for (1) growth mindset and goal setting, (2) emotion management, (3) empathy and kindness, and (4) problem solving. These core topics are covered for each student, but the Second Step curriculum is designed to meet the skill levels of each grade.

Second Step uses four key strategies to reinforce skill development: brain builder games, weekly theme activities, reinforcing activities, and home links. These links offer you an overview of the lessons being covered in your child's class as well as tips and practice opportunities for you to use at home.
