RULER Offering
RULER adoption begins with a six-week online RULER Institute for three people per school (a principal and two educators or mental health professionals in the school), that form a school’s RULER implementation team. This team is responsible for setting and evaluating goals related to implementation, impact, and sustainability. In addition, YCEI conducts annual performance management assessments to monitor progress and provide additional implementation supports as necessary. The aim of the first year is to obtain school-wide buy-in, instill a mindset that emotions matter, provide practice in developing emotional intelligence, and prepare for classroom rollout, family engagement, and sustainability in the second year and beyond. To ensure success, schools receive:
- Web-based coaching sessions (3 in year 1 and 2 in year 2)
- Electronic newsletters and a series of webinars
- Access to RULER online platform for all school administrators, faculty, and staff (that includes courses, resources, and tools for staff development, preK-12 classrooms, and family engagement)
- Discount pricing to attend an annual national RULER implementation conference
