For preschool/kindergarten through grade 9

The award-winning Second Step program teaches social and emotional skills for violence prevention. The program includes research-based, teacher-friendly curricula, training for educators, and parent-education components.

"The Second Step program has been a big part of our success at Northwest Elementary—school detentions are down and test scores are up."
Joe Schlaffer, Principal, Northwest Elementary, Lebanon, Pennsylvania

Why Violence Prevention Is Important

Research shows that aggressive behavior in children predicts risk of later delinquency, substance abuse, school dropout, early parenthood, and depression. Classroom use of the Second Step program helps provide children with the skills they need to create safe environments and become successful adults.

Based on more than 15 years of classroom application and the most current academic, social, and emotional research, the Second Step program focuses on the three essential competencies—empathy, impulse control and problem solving, and anger management.

The Second Step lessons are easy to teach, flow sequentially, and require minimal teacher preparation time. Integration activities tie the lessons to academic learning requirements—health, science, math, social studies, and language arts—helping teachers build on what they are already doing in the classroom.

The Second Step Program:

• Skills
  • Empathy
  • Impulse control
  • Anger management
  • Problem solving

• Format
