Second Step Curriculum

Here at District 51, we are committed to academic and social emotional success! In addition to the Leader In Me initiative, our schools have also adopted the Second Step Curriculum for Kindergarten through Fifth grade! Lessons are taught within the classroom on a weekly basis.

Second Step Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) gives students the tools to excel in and out of the classroom. Our easy-to-teach program garners outstanding reviews from educators who’ve noticed schoolwide improvement and see even the most challenging students make progress in emotion management, situational awareness, and academic achievement.
