Learning Experiences
Second Step High School is organized into four pathways:
- Belonging & Connection
- Confidence & Capability
- Agency & Opportunity
- Well-Being & Community
The program includes three types of learning experiences that align so everyone works toward the same goals at the same time:
- Schoolwide practices
- Educator practices
- Student activities
For additional details about the schoolwide practices, educator practices, and student activities and their recommended sequence, download the program’s scope and sequence (PDF).
Program Training
The program comes with a program overview article and a pathway training for each pathway which is made up of a video, skills, objectives, an example practice, and cited research.
Additional Resources
This program includes resources for school leaders and educators, including professional development, program training, a resource library, an implementation guide, a leader dashboard with visibility into site, grade, and class progress reporting, family communications, and alignment charts.
Technical Requirements
Second Step High School is accessed and taught entirely from SecondStep.org.
A connection to the internet is required to access all parts of the program, including the schoolwide practices, educator practices, student activities, program training, resource library and Implementation Guide. Some resources are offered as downloadable PDFs.
The program 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 High School student activities on a mobile phone, we don’t recommend trying to project lessons from a phone for use in the classroom.
