[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's weird to me the number of people who are certain their children wouldn't answer these questions as earnestly and honestly as possible, though I agree there would be all kinds of problems with taking the responses as in any way actionable at the individual level.  In the aggregate I think deviations across schools might be worthwhile indicators of thematic issues/concerns to dive deeper with teachers, but should not be taken as prescriptive of a particular course of action to address them.[/quote]

The FCPS website says that the results will be used to determine interventions for the students themselves.  It says, "The SEL Screener provides a first look at areas in which students may need extra support. Teachers may collect more information to understand their strengths and needs. This information helps teachers plan targeted instruction or intervention if needed. Results support SEL skill development for whole classrooms, small groups, or individual students. This way, all students have the opportunity to build the skills needed to be successful."

I don't need my 4th grader pulled to be given interventions -- instead of classroom instruction on academics -- because he said he didn't care about other people's feelings in the last 30 days.

VDOE was required to put together the SEL curriculum.  The 2020 Legislature passed that law.  But the individual school districts aren't required to implement it unless they want to.  [b]I wish FCPS would drop this and focus on the remediation they need to do.  That's going to go further for equity than anything else[/b].[/quote]

+100.

Reading, writing, and arithmetic are the biggest equity issues of our time.
