State Board of Education

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.

Commenter: passed or not it won't be taught or supported in the schools

ultimately doesn't matter what gets passed or not, the majority of people are tired of this

Not good for schools or kids, families, or our country. The PEOPLE of this nation are over this divisive political garbage, to manipulate us, to get votes, and push an agenda. More people than you think nod and smile so they don't get cancelled, but most people don't agree with the messages being pushed today. The angry loud voice and media narrative makes it seem like "everyone" is on board. But we are not. You just are unable to have a reasonable discussion anymore. Stop.
