I am pleased to give a big thumbs up to the proposed SEL standards put together by the multidisciplinary team of experts and parents. As I read them, I was struck at the care given to such an important topic, and thoughtfulness about how these standards will sync well with the existing SOLs. As someone who works in the field of special education, and as a parent of a child with an IEP, I look forward to these standards being disseminated to our field, and impacting children in a positive way.
