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.

Further division of society. No good.
 

Please teach students academic skills instead of pushing a leftist agenda to further divide our country. Stop promoting the hate of one group; that they should feel bad about their-self, that everyone in this group has it easy,  and owes everyone else everything. And stop promoting that another group has no chance, and is unable to succeed unless given everything to them. Individuals have advantages and disadvantages. Make this about helping people and bringing them together, instead of promoting division over false generalizations and race.
