Train Your School Team
Get Started with RULER
RULER adoption begins when a small team from a pre-K to 12 school (at least one leader and two educators or mental health professionals) attends a RULER Training Institute on the principles, skills, and tools of emotional intelligence. Over time, with implementation support, all school staff participate in RULER skill-building activities so they can be role models and knowledgeable implementers of RULER for students and families.

RULER Institute for School Teams
Attending a RULER Institute is the first step for schools (pre-K to 12) looking to implement RULER. Our training institutes focus on building a growth mindset and common language around emotions, skill development in emotional intelligence, and the building and sustaining of positive social and emotional climates where all stakeholders in the school feel empowered to learn, work, and achieve. RULER training is available online and in person several times a year.
