RULER is an acronym for the five skills of emotional intelligence:

• Recognizing emotions in oneself and others
• Understanding the causes and consequences of emotions
• Labeling emotions with a nuanced vocabulary
• Expressing emotions in accordance with cultural norms and social context
• Regulating emotions with helpful strategies

Research shows that these five skills are associated with a wide range of important life outcomes, including greater academic and workplace performance, better relationships, enhanced leadership skills, less anxiety and depression, better conflict-resolution skills, and greater wellbeing.

RULER also is the name of our evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning that supports the entire school community in:

1. Understanding the value of emotions
2. Building the skills of emotional intelligence
3. Creating and maintaining positive emotional climates
