Are there assessments for the Second Step Program available on SecondStep.org?

We provide student summative knowledge assessments for our Early Learning–Grade 8 SEL Program and Bullying Prevention Unit and make recommendations for research-validated assessments from other organizations to use with our programs. The summative knowledge assessments are available as downloadable PDFs on SecondStep.org, but should not be used as pre- and post-test measures.

To learn more about the research-validated assessments from other providers, please see our assessment and evaluation page.
