Social Skills Learning is recognized as a key ingredient for school and life success. To meet these specific needs, Leander ISD adopted the Second Step curriculum. The lessons are taught at in all elementary classrooms in grades K-5 as well as Early Learning Classrooms.
The developmentally appropriate lessons are divided into four units.
Skills for Learning
Empathy
Emotional Management
Problem Solving
The overall goal of Social Skills Learning is to increase student instructional time by helping students stay on task and decreasing behaviors impacting learning.
The Second Step Curriculum is taught by the classroom teachers and supported by the school counselor
