Based on over 20 years of research and classroom application, the award-winning SecondSTEP program integrates academics with social and emotional learning.  SecondSTEP is a classroom based curriculum utilized by Mrs. Casey-Bryant that helps students develop important social and emotional skills.  In grades K–5, students practice skills such as making friends, managing emotions, cooperation, respect, and solving problems to set them on the path for social success and academic readiness.  Children also learn to recognize and respect people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and ethnicities. These essential life skills will help students in the classroom, on the playground, and at home.
