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 inappropriate
 

I can't wait to vote each and every on of these VDOE positions responsible for this waste of time curriculum out of office.  The public school system across Virginia would be better if their entire department was defunded.  How about these arm chair quarterbacks get in the classroom and realize what students actually need? 

If it's not okay to talk about religion in schools, it's not okay to push political ideology such as this in schools. 

ELECTIONS ARE COMING.
