Strong SEL standards or guidelines are comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, and culturally responsive, and include benchmarks for what all students should know and be able to do from PreK through grade 12. They establish common language in an area that may be less familiar than math or reading to many district personnel, students, and parents and allow districts to outline intersections of SEL with standards in academic content areas.
