K-5 Social Emotional Resources

 

At Frontier Academy, we provide our students with Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) support with an evidence-based curriculum called Second Step. In the Second Step curriculum students are given instruction in their classroom setting about a variety of skills that will help them to succeed in school and life. Second Step SEL lessons are provided to all grades in a developmentally appropriate manner. Skills that students are taught in Second Step lessons include: 

Skills for Learning
Empathy
Emotion Management 
Problem-Solving
 
Students also receive Second Step lessons about Bullying Prevention and Child Protection in a classroom setting. Bullying Prevention Lessons in Second Step provide students with information about how to Recognize signs of bullying; how to Refuse bullying in an assertive and respectful voice; and how to Report bullying that is happening to them or to other students. 

Lessons in the Second Step Child Protection curriculum provide students with information and skills about: ways to stay safe by Recognizing if something is safe and what the rules are, Reporting unsafe things to adults, and Refusing unsafe things by saying “no”; always asking an adult or person in charge if something is safe; they learn the difference between safe and unsafe touches; and rules for touching that help keep them safe.
