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.

Self Management Standard 1
 

I have an issue with standard one being called only communication.  The Students ability to remain calm is not only communication but also behavior management/self regulation.  Know 5 C's are convenient but does not encompass the scope of the statement.  Choosing a calming strategy is communication but the ability to remain calm is not.  Just rethink the title of this C or eliminate it all together
