We derived a linearized three-level difference scheme on uniform meshes by the method of reduction of order for a Timoshenko beam with boundary feedback. It is proved that the scheme is uniquely solvable, unconditionally stable and second order convergent in $L_{\infty}$ norm by using the discrete energy method. A numerical example is presented to verify the theoretical results.
