These standards are not appropriate for curriculum. SEL happens daily with the culture of the school. Strong administration, with the support of school psychologists, counselors, special/ general education teachers, and all supporting staff should be instilling healthy social and emotional development in our students everyday. SEL already is happening, and has been incorporated into our public schools. There has been an increase in the recognition of the importance of social and emotional development for years. The school, it's culture, and the staff, working with students and their families creates a learning environment that produces opportunities for students to learn every aspect of healthy social and emotional growth. We do not want or need SEL Standards as part of a curriculum, that must be implemented by overworked teachers, without proper training for mental health, to evaluate students and as part of school accreditation. SEL should not be part of curriculum. I do not support SEL in this form. Thank you.
