When Boston Public Schools adopted #SecondStep programs, teachers noticed students showing more empathy. “When someone got hurt, kids would get up and say, ‘Are you okay? How can we help?’” one teacher recalls. #SEL

At Marcus Garvey Elementary in Chicago, #SEL is a major part of every student’s day. “I like it because it helps people in the classroom calm down,” said one sixth grader. #SecondStep

@FullertonSel @LaderaVistaJH @FullertonSD @MorrisHelene Your outreach to families about #SecondStep and #SEL is always so great to see. Thank you for doing this work!

I was honored to present to parents @LaderaVistaJH about our wonderful @2ndStepProgram and SEL. It's always so nice to see parents interested in what their kids are learning so they can reinforce skills at home. #SEL #FSDsel @fullertonsd @MorrisHelene

@KomenskyPBIS @KomenskyLions @MsManzosWorld @SarahGamradt It's so great to see kids recognizing how they are applying their #SEL skills. Thank you for sharing, @KomenskyPBIS!

@MrsHamory That's such a great idea for wrapping up a lesson! Thank you for sharing, @MrsHamory.

After my “Hammertimes” completed the @2ndStepProgram lesson, we engaged in more team building activities. The fan favorite question was: “I am going to be famous for…” Hearing their answers about their future and encouraging words about their peers answers = amazing! #Courageous

@DELCBlue Thank you for all you've done over the year to support your students!

Hard to believe only 4 more @2ndStepProgram Mondays for the school year! It has been a joy to watch these kids grow! #sel
