Educational System and Violence

• Portsmouth Public School District was ranked among the top 13 school districts in the state for total number of conduct-related incidents

• Percent of the population below the poverty line (16.2%), and the number of children receiving free and reduced lunch (60%)

• Program services are geared toward elementary and middle school students because discipline referrals are highest at this level and academic achievement is the lowest

Is this behavior new ??

“The children of today now love luxury.

They have bad manners, they show disrespect for adults, and love to talk, rather than work or exercise. They contradict their parents, chatter in front of company, gobble down their food at the table, and intimidate their teachers.”

Socrates, 469–399 B.C.Socrates, 469–399 B.C.

Reasons Children Fail to Act Prosocially

• Lack of modeling

• Lack of practice

• Desired behavior inhibited by emotional responses

• Inappropriate beliefs about aggression

Page 8: Please Sign-In Collect Folder with Materials Sit by Grade Level

Goal of Grant

• This underserved urban city must equip its schools, teachers, and families with the requisite skills to circumvent the development of aggressive tendencies in susceptible youth. Character in Education targets elementary and middle school students (N=11,000 students)

• Prosocial Behavior

Reducing Violent Behavior

By implementing Character in Education interventions--students, teachers and parents will simultaneously learn

the requisite skills to foster social competence and prosocial behaviors

Alignment of Second Step Lessons With Academic SOL

• Second Step lessons address key content elements and concepts, and core learning strategies identified in the SOL at each grade level.

• Many grade level content strands are repeatedly addressed in the lessons allowing for multiple opportunities to apply the concepts and learning strategies in a variety of different ways.

• Many grade level content strands are not addressed by the lessons, therefore suggesting the need to match lessons to subjects in which the greatest number of SOL are met.

• In addressing SOL, the lessons allow for creativity and perspective-taking, particularly in subjects such as math and science.

Who Should Implement the Program ?

Highly recommended that teachers be the primary presenters of the classroom lessons with school counselors and other school staff

playing supporting roles

Advantages include:• Teachers knows students best and can teach lessons according to

group needs

• Modeling appropriate application of skills can occur at opportune times throughout the day by teachers who know what has been covered in lessons

• Teachers establish themselves as primary support people, and students can easily turn to them at anytime.

• Allows new norms for classroom and playground behavior

• Teacher can find ways to integrate Second Step skills into other parts of the curriculum to enhance learning across the disciplines
