These standards are helpful to lay out expectations for SEL, which I support. I have two minor points of feedback based on reading the standards:
More broadly, I want to note that SEL standards must extend to adults working with students; must co-occur with culturally-relevant pedagogy; and must recognize that schools can be traumatizing environments in which not everyone will have the capacity to demonstrate their best selves. School staff risk a deficit perspective when focusing on standards without considering barriers, the limitation of observation in one environment, or the alignment of school standards with family/cultural values. Standards for individual expectations of students should be situated in expectations for positive school culture, inclusion, restorative discipline, and other practices that allow for true SEL to occur.
Thank you for all of your work.
