RULER at Genesee Hill

RULER is a school-wide approach adopted by SPS. Designed by Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence it is intended to promote emotional literacy, which includes:

Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, and Regulating emotions (the “RULER” skills).

RULER implementation involves systematic professional development for the adults involved in the education of children (school leaders, teachers, support staff, and families) so that emotions become central to learning, teaching, and parenting.
