Lower School • Digital Program
The Second Step® Elementary for Lower Schools digital program is a universal, Tier 1 social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum that’s web-based, provides the structure to allow for consistent delivery, and easily scales across schools and districts. Its digital format enables continuous improvement based on up-to-date research and feedback, and a variety of media, activities, and interactive components provide opportunities for culturally relevant teaching. The program evolves along with your students during their elementary years to set them up for success later on in school and throughout their lives.

Key Features
Lessons include space for teachers to include real-life scenarios that keep the program content relevant for their students. The look and feel of each grade’s lessons evolve as students grow into new developmental stages.
Performance tasks help teachers understand how the class is progressing and identify where students might benefit from more instruction or reinforcement.
More than 100 supplemental resources—including songs, Mind Yeti® mindfulness sessions, and enrichment activities—give educators a variety of options to expand learning.
