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 not appropriate or wanted in public schools
 

Please research what is going on across the country and the negative reception of SEL into public school curriculum. It’s not working, it does not work, and schools don’t need or want this. I have witnessed first hand the difficulty it causes for students and teachers. It is not effective. No to SEL in public schools.
