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.

Guidance document - absolutely not appropriate
 

Beyond the scope of teachers and schools to provide an education to students. Ridiculous to see students not able to read, write, do math, understand science but we are to believe this is vital. It is not. You are doing more harm than good with our children. You need to be held accountable for the nonsense you have instituted - can we vote you un-elected bureaucrats out?  Can we fire you?
