Human Skills in Action: How to Support Student Success

Wednesday, September 30, 2026
11:00 a.m. Pacific | 2:00 p.m. Eastern

Student behavior doesn’t stop at the classroom door, and neither do the skills students need to succeed. Join us for a practical webinar exploring strategies to address challenging behaviors, strengthen classroom climate, and support students in both in-person and digital environments. Learn how Second Step® programs work together to help educators build stronger relationships, reinforce skill development every day, and support positive student outcomes.

We’ll cover how to:

  • Identify opportunities to reinforce human skills beyond dedicated lessons
  • Connect classroom behavior supports with digital well-being instruction
  • Create a more positive, consistent learning environment that supports student success in school and online

Attendees will discover how Second Step programs align with tiered interventions to help educators identify student needs early, prevent escalation, and provide the right level of support for every learner. We’ll also explore how the same human skills that improve behavior and engagement can help students navigate digital challenges, such as distraction, online conflict, stress, and responsible decision-making. You’ll leave with practical ways to integrate digital well-being into everyday teaching and create consistent skill-building opportunities across classroom and online settings.

As Director of Product, Stefani leads the team responsible for the vision and strategy behind Committee for Children’s innovative human skills programs. Detail-oriented and a problem-solver by nature, Stefani sees issues through both a microscopic and telescopic lens. “I’ve always found big, hairy problems enticing,” she says. “But it’s by having an open mind, being willing to listen, and accepting some failure that I have learned to drive solutions with the greatest impact.” Stefani was drawn to Committee for Children’s research-based approach and its vision of safe children thriving in a just and peaceful world. She previously worked as an elementary and middle school teacher before developing web-based mathematics curricula at DreamBox Learning. It was there that she discovered a talent for designing learning experiences in technological environments and a passion for leading teams and forming partnerships with educators and families.
