Counselor's Corner
Beverly
Public Schools
continues to present the SECOND STEP curriculum this school year. This nationally recognized program is designed to promote social competence and reduce social problems. It teaches children to think about others’ feelings, to solve problems cooperatively and to manage their anger in a positive way. SECOND STEP is presented in the classroom making it available for all students providing continuity while supporting a positive environment here at
Centerville
School
Research has shown that home
and school are the two most important social emotional learning environments. Parent
trainings and family videos are available for parents to learn more about the program
that encourages your child to cooperate and get along better with others. Gain knowledge
of how to use these techniques at home to increase cooperation and decrease conflict.
The Second Step Program has
been endorsed by the Department of Education and is grant funded. However, thanks
to the Centerville School PTO we have been able to purchase a variety of books to
be used in the classroom and a family video to accompany the curriculum.
