Web-based Program Building Social–Emotional Skills
The Second Step Elementary digital program offers a research-based approach to social–emotional learning (SEL) that allows for consistency from classroom to classroom and easily scales across schools and districts. In teacher-facilitated group settings, students connect with the content, as well as with one another and their teacher, as they build social–emotional skills through a variety of media, activities, and interactive components that provide opportunities for culturally relevant teaching. This digital program includes four units of weekly, age-appropriate lessons for each grade. Each interactive teacher-led unit has five 15- to 30-minute lessons. The last lesson of each unit is a performance task in which students demonstrate evidence of their learning. A complete list of units and weekly lesson topics for kindergarten through grade 5 are posted on the program’s website. Additionally teachers can preview lesson content and media in the lesson presentations, as well as student resources for select lessons.
