Technical Requirements
The Second Step Elementary, Second Step Middle School, and Second Step High School digital programs are accessed and taught entirely from SecondStep.org.
A connection to the internet is required to access all parts of the programs, including the lessons, program training, advisory activities, and Leader Dashboard and Implementation Guide. Some resources are offered as downloadable PDFs.
The programs will function best when used on a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet with a common, up-to-date web browser—such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge—and a current operating system.
Although it’s possible to view Second Step digital program lessons on a mobile phone, we don’t recommend trying to project lessons from a phone for use in the classroom.
