This is massive government overreach. All social emotional learning for typically developing students should be done through natural interactions, not through curriculum or standards. These standards address issues and discussions that should be left to the families of students. As a teacher, I am offended that school districts are not only being encouraged to engage in this type of "learning," but are allowed to spend funds on curriculum programs which discuss social emotional issues in an artificial manner. If you are truly concerned about social emotional issues among our students, allow smaller class sizes, shorter school days, and more access to the arts (which naturally teach social emotional learning, both individually and cooperatively).
