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.

SEL is essential. These standards are inappropriate
 

SEL is essential. These standards are imposing subjective issues on children. These are not facts to be taught in school. Right and wrong comfortable and uncomfortable to be imposed on children. Then they will be evaluated how well they can demonstrate someone’s opinion on feelings. It is wrong to impose opinion and a subjective narrative on our children. This is not social emotional wellness. Wake up.
