It is designed to meet the SEL need of early learners to middle school students. The youngest learners will benefit more from preschool and be better prepared for kindergarten with self-regulation and executive-function skills that help them pay attention, remember directions, and control their behavior.Students in grades K–5 continue developing their social-emotional skills—including making friends, managing emotions, and solving problems—to set them on the path for social success and academic readiness. Middle-schoolers are better prepared to navigate adolescence with communication, coping, and decision-making skills that help them make good choices and avoid pitfalls, such as peer pressure, substance abuse, and bullying.

It takes place in the classroom setting and changes appropriately based on grade level. It teaches a variety of social skills using various methods such as music, stories, and videos. The school counselor teaches some of the lessons ans the general education teacher also teaches some. It targets many social-emotional skills from teaching greetings to kindergarten students to making and keeping commitments in 8th grade. The major benefit of this program is that students are exposed to it for so many years and each lesson focuses on a different topic. It is appropriately scaffolded.

It is used by educators in a universal prevention model. Although primarily focused on the school and classroom settings, activities can also be shared with parents, which is beneficial.]]> 2017-06-27 19:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/177584487 ajoh1672 https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/177681561 K-5
This is a program used for self-awareness. Each zone represents different feelings. For example, the green zone represents that you feel good, safe, happy, ready to learn. Yellow can be agitated, excited, not exactly ready to learn. Blue is sad, gloomy, tired, etc. Red is mad. Each color comes with emotions and examples 
of behaviors for each emotion. If the teacher asks students which zone they are in before instruction or after transitioning, this gives the teacher knowledge of what to do to get students ready to learn. ]]> 2017-06-28 19:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/177681561 pemm7 https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/177689978 I know our school has used Second Step.  It is a program for grades K-8.  The preschool level targets skills such as self-regulation and executive-function skills that help them pay attention, listen to directions and control their behavior.  K-5 students work on social-emotional skills to help them with areas such as making friends, managing emotions, and solving problems.  The middle school curriculum helps with communication, coping, and decision-making skills that help them make good choices.  I like how it targets specific areas that are age appropriate for what the students could experience at that age level.  I like how it incorporates music, videos, take-home activities, and stories that kids can relate to.

It takes place in the classroom. The students work on different social skills. At the junior high we use it to teach students about how to make decisions, how to communicate, how to cope and other important things in life. A benefit is students can learn important life and social skills they need to survive. ]]> 2017-06-30 01:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/177785135 hmjirka https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/177792462 At my school we use the second step curriculum.  My school social worker comes in my class 1X a week and teaches my students an adapted version of the curriculum.  I incorporate the skills she teaches into my daily routine so they can generalize the skills in various settings.
I also use the Zones of Regulation in my classroom to help students manage their emotions and learn how to get back to the "green zone."
All age groups can benefit from zones and second step because both are all about feelings and offer strategies for dealing with different feelings.]]> 2017-06-30 04:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/177792462 mlmccas https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/178585415 My school uses PBIS. It targets behavioral skills and positive behavior identification and management. It can be used and modified with any school-age group, but works very well with my preschool kiddos! The benefits include, learning positive behaviors and teaching children to independently identifying negative behaviors.]]> 2017-07-12 18:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/178585415 tammy_l_jones7 https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/178988286 2017-07-18 21:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/178988286 tammy_l_jones7 https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/178988350 2017-07-18 21:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandramsmith2/ntitibc3qom5/wish/178988350
