Second Step Curriculum

What is Social-Emotional Learning?

SEL is the process through which children learn to understand and manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.  With the Second Step Curriculum, children can practice skills daily through teacher led activities, group play, and reinforcement of concepts learned throughout the day.

These skills are essential for a child’s successful development and are foundational to academic success.

Social-emotional learning helps students build:

  • Self-Awareness
  • Self-Management
  • Social Awareness
  • Relationship Skills
  • Responsible Decision-Making Skills
