Building Human Skills Through Feedback: RISE + Second Step High School

To help students develop real-world communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills, Committee for Children integrated the RISE Model into its Second Step® High School Program. RISE offers a structured, student-centered approach to peer feedback that supports strategic thinking, empathy, and adaptability. With tools like educator guides, feedback templates, and videos, RISE empowers teachers to create meaningful learning experiences that build students’ confidence and readiness for life beyond the classroom.
