YES! YES! I like the initiative for standards. I acknowledge how important it is to teach the students where they are and children today do not all get the foundation of these skills before school. Especially in these isolating times after Covid! I would like to advocate for a program: Second Steps. The school division I was with in Georgia the past 4 years implemented this at all grade levels. While I don't usually like a scripted curriculum, this one takes the burden of what and how to teach these skills off of a teachers' shoulders. The wonderful part is the common language it creates at all levels Prek-12! The lessons are designed for about 10 minutes a day and are so worth it. I was teaching at the Prek level and the program is excellent! It respects students and is a great help to teachers. We need to foster growth for the whole child. We can better teach academics when the SE needs are being met!
