Second Steps was selected by the Lincoln Public Schools as their elementary social-emotional curriculum.  This year Kindergarten through third grades will use the Second Steps curriculum. Next year the fourth and fifth grades will be added.
 
Curriculum Overview: “Building an Environment for Learning”
  • Research and evidence-based and aligned with the national standards for students according the the ASCA National Model
  • Promotes school success, school connectedness, safe, and respectful school environment
  • Directly teaches students skills to strengthen their ability to: learn, have empathy for others, manage emotions positively, and solve problems/conflicts with peers
  • Lessons build on one another (scope and sequence can be found by clicking on the respective grade level)
These lessons will be taught by classroom teachers (Kindergarten-Third Grades) in each classroom weekly.  The counselor will support the Second Steps lessons and provide supplementary assistance.  
Family Letters and Home Links– Families can access online resources using an activation key by clicking your child’s grade level and month the lesson was delivered. You will be provided the code following the initial lesson. I encourage you to have a conversation with your child about the topic discussed as well as continue the skill practice at home.
