Guidance Document Change: The 2020 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 753 directing the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to develop guidance standards for social emotional learning (SEL) for all public students in grades Kindergarten through 12 in the Commonwealth. The Virginia Social Emotional Learning Standards were developed in collaboration with an SEL Advisory Committee, composed of educators, community leaders, agency personnel, and parents. The Virginia SEL Standards are aligned with the Profile of a Virginia Graduate and centered in equity. This intentional focus allows the Standards to explicitly teach the skills needed to be “life ready” and to create more equitable learning environments.

MTSS and Relentless tracking of children's thoughts and ideas to sell SEL
 

Where do the proposed standards mention parental consent being required before these intrusive psychological examinations and the constant questioning of their children happen?  What are children's organizations saying about the "systemic" data collection forced upon children?  What are parents saying about the "systemic" data collection forced upon THEIR children?  https://www.panoramaed.com/blog/social-emotional-learning-mtss

No SEL without parent consent.  MTSS should not be used as a smokescreen for "systemic" data collection of children's thoughts and ideas.
