Texts: RULER is an evidence-based program that teaches preschool to high school students the following skills of emotional intelligence (Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, 2013): Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, Regulating. Research on this program has found that students using RULER (Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, 2013):
- Perform better in school
- Have increased emotional intelligence and social skills
- Have decreased anxiety and depression
- Are less likely to bully other students
- Have better attention and leadership skills.
At the secondary school level, RULER covers 20 lessons over four years, providing secondary school students with the social and emotional skills they need in their teenage years and beyond. After the completion of these 20 lessons, students will have (Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, 2013):
- An expanded vocabulary of emotions to understand and regulate emotions
- Personalized strategies for forming and maintaining healthy relationships and making better decisions
- Greater understanding of their motivations and knowledge of how to set and achieve goals.
