Second Step

Decades of research show the positive effects of universal, classroom-based social-emotional learning (SEL) programs for children. Children need social-emotional skills to thrive both in the classroom and in life. SEL curricula teach children techniques to:

  • Gain confidence
  • Set goals
  • Make better decisions
  • Collaborate with others in work and play
  • Navigate the world more effectively

Harrison School educators can reach out to a School Counselor to learn how to register for free resources to support Second Step in the classroom.
