Emotional Lessons: Out on the Tundra, Kids Learn To Better Understand Their Own and Others' Feelings.

Sherman, Lee

Northwest Education, v4 n3 p20-27 Spr 1999

A nationally acclaimed antiviolence program, Second Step teaches three basic skills needed for living peacefully in society: empathy, impulse control, and anger management. In Bethel (Alaska), where student gunfire killed a student and principal in 1997, Second Step is used enthusiastically, having been modified to fit Yupik Eskimo culture and language. Sidebar lists nine other top-scoring antiviolence curricula. (SV)
