SEL is vital to the well-being of leaders, educators, students, and families! Encourage colleagues to bring RULER to their school communities. The next RULER Institute Online cohort starts April 19. Applications due Friday! >>rulerapproach.org/training/ruler… Yale University Yale Child Study Center @marcbrackett

If you punish people for being wrong, they cover up their mistakes. They make excuses and throw blame to justify the past. If you treat being wrong as a learning opportunity, people admit their errors. They take responsibility for correcting and preventing them in the future.

How can we grow our emotional intelligence at home, school, work, and online? Nikki Elbertson joins WPR’s Kate Archer Kent to discuss how to manage our emotions amidst multiple pandemics. wpr.org/shows/emotiona… #thursdaymorning #emotionalinteliigence Yale University Yale Child Study Center

A basic step for giving better advice: Instead of just saying “Here’s what’s helped me,” try asking “What’s helped you before?” Reflecting helps people crystallize lessons from their own past resilience—and gain confidence in their ability to overcome current adversity.

Racist and anti-Asian rhetoric surrounding the coronavirus has helped justify and instigate violence. Educators are in a position to interrupt harmful speech and protect AAPI students. Consider these "Speak Up" strategies. learningforjustice.org/magazine/how-t…

Join us in celebrating all of the leaders, educators, students, and their families who created emotionally intelligent communities this year. We are so grateful for them and their commitment to SEL.youtu.be/0KMicvo2LU4 #SELDay Urban Assembly SEL4US @marcbrackett Yale Child Study Center

The last year has felt like a cultural sea change in #AntiRacism. But we've been here before. Converting that intent into action is what's needed now. Adam Grant and I discuss "Building an #AntiRacist Workplace" on his #WorkLife TED Talks podcast: tedtalks.social/WLAdam

Adults have a key role in incorporating #SEL into the classroom beyond lessons about the competencies. Every adult can practice their own SEL competencies as a model to their students. More about modeling SEL: bit.ly/3b9GvQ7

When feedback isn’t helpful, try asking for advice. New experiments: requests for advice elicit more constructive input than requests for feedback. Feedback tends to focus on how well you did in the past. Advice shifts attention to how you can do better in the future.

Wondering what children need more than ever after a challenging year? Play! Listen to this fantastic podcast episode with my friend and colleague Jessica Hoffmann on the benefits of play and how we can support play in our students and children: wnpr.org/post/go-play-i…

A key to stable relationships is being flexible. 200+ studies, 43k+ people: -Flexible partners have higher satisfaction and support—and lower anxiety and aggression -Flexible parents have lower stress—and kids with higher well-being Stability flows from openness to change.

Save the date! The 2022 Virtual RULER Implementation Conference will take place March 9-10 from 12PM - 3PM ET. Tickets will go on sale next month! Stay tuned here, in the RULER Newsletters, and on RULER Online for details. @marcbrackett Yale Child Study Center

Some ideas from ⁦Nikki Elbertson⁩ ⁦Dr. Robin Stern & me for how to strike a balance between appreciation & aspiration during the holiday season. Our last in ⁦⁦The Hill⁩ before the holiday break. ⁦@YaleEmotion⁩ ⁦RULER⁩ thehill.com/changing-ameri…

There's nothing wrong with being wrong. To err is human. It becomes a problem when you choose to stay wrong. To deny error is willful blindness. New information is an invitation to question old opinions. The faster you are to recognize your mistakes, the less wrong you become.

NEW: Today I released a Surgeon General's Advisory on #YouthMentalHealth that calls our nation to action to address our #YouthMentalHealth crisis. surgeongeneral.gov/ymh [1/7]

The integration of #SEL in schools continues to grow as communities work to address the needs of educators + students. We are humbled by the continued opportunities to build emotionally intelligent school communities. rulerapproach.org Yale University Yale Child Study Center Nikki Elbertson
