What is the Second Step program?

Based on over 20 years of research and classroom application, the award-winning Second Step program integrates academics and social and emotional learning.

          Children from preschool through eighth grade learn and practice important skills like anger management, cooperation, respectful behavior, and problem solving. These skills help decrease students’ negative and violent behaviors—name calling, fights, and stereotyping—and return the focus of classroom time to where it belongs: learning.
