SEL helps build a foundation that supports students’ success both personally and academically. When kids are equipped with social-emotional skills, they’re better able to learn and contribute to a positive school climate.
The RULER Approach
This year, your child is learning about the RULER approach for social-emotional learning, which is designed to help students recognize, understand, label, express and regulate their emotions in productive ways. Below you will find overview videos from the district PBIS Specialists explaining your child's upcoming RULER Feeling Word Units. Students in grade K-5 will learn eight new feeling words using the RULER curriculum this year. The units of study focus on expanding emotion vocabulary as well as discussing action and thought strategies to proactively handle each emotion. Please reach out to your child’s building principal if you would like more information on their current unit of study. We appreciate your partnership as you engage in at home learning opportunities with your child.
