Promote School Success and Prevent Risky Behaviors

Middle school: It's the place where adolescents can develop positive coping skills—or risky ones. The research-based SECOND STEP program helps your students learn the protective skills to make good choices and stay engaged in school despite the pitfalls of substance abuse, bullying, cyber bullying, and peer pressure.

Middle school lessons (PDF) require little prep time and are used in tandem with an interactive DVD. Interviews with real kids who talk about real issues draw your students in; games, exercises, and skill practice make it fun.

Help middle school students develop the 21st century skills they need to make positive decisions and achieve academic success.
