Teachers in PK-6 will teach the SEL priority standards chosen by the SEL District team using the Second Step curriculum. These priority standards were based on the district's SELweb (Insights) data and the competencies that are essential for each developmental level as students progress up through the grades.
MVSD developed PK-Adulthood SEL competencies with CASEL in 2019-2020. Over the past few years, we continued deepening our knowledge and understanding of SEL. On the left is our 2023 revised version of this guide.
MVSD teachers can view the MVSD SEL competencies by grade-band to help them with lesson planning. Each grade has the previous grade-band's competencies (except PK) along with their own so that they can see the developmental continuum as they plan for their students.
