While on the surface, it appears to be a reasonable process.  However, school is not a place for politically driven social justice lessons.  Instead of teaching children how to think for themselves, SEL is attempting to force children to think a certain way.  Some of this document can be positive but much of it needs to go.

The following SEL standards need to be removed from this document:

SoA2: 11-12a, I can recognize, describe and distinguish inequity and injustice at different levels of society.

SoA2: 11-12b, I can identify and work to address my own conscious biases and implicit (unconscious) biases.

ReS1: 5-6d, I can demonstrate how I will navigate situations when I might feel pressured to go along with injustice.

SoA2: 7-8a, I can recognize and describe unfairness and injustice in many forms including attitudes, speech, behaviors, policies, practices, and laws

SoA2: 9-10a, I can recognize that all people (including myself) have certain advantages and disadvantages in society based on who they are and where they were born.

SoA2: 11-12a, I can recognize, describe and distinguish inequity and injustice at different levels of society.

ReS1: 11-12d, I can make ethical decisions about when and how to take a stand against bias and injustice in my everyday life or community and will do so despite negative peer or group pressure.

I believe SEL standards such as this one have merit:

SoA1: 11-12a, I can relate to and build connections with other people by showing them empathy, compassion, and understanding by highlighting and honoring differing perspectives, backgrounds, cultures or social groups

In a country with an educational system that is failing our children, I cannot help but feel money would be better spent improving the teaching of reading, writing and arithmetic instead of forcing SEL on children - especially in its current format.
