Emotions in the BLUE (unpleasant and lower in energy) include boredom, sadness and despair. Every emotion can be plotted onto the Mood Meter, which teachers and students rely on in numerous ways during the school day.Įmotions in the RED (high energy and unpleasant) include anger, frustration and anxiety. The x-axis describes the degree of pleasantness a person feels (from unpleasant to pleasant) and the y-axis represents a person’s energy (low to high). The axes on the Mood Meter represent two components of emotions: energy and pleasantness. You will find Mood Meters of all kinds across the CEE campus! It helps enhance self-awareness, supporting the development of a nuanced emotion vocabulary and the ability to self-regulate.

The Mood Meter is a tool that allows students to recognize their feelings and learn how to move between them. Since the Charter is created completely by the students, and rooted in their feelings, they feel bound to it in an authentic way. We start with the question ‘How do we want to feel at school?’ then, ‘How will we make sure to feel these feelings?’ and finally, ‘What will we do when there is conflict or unwanted feelings?’”Įach class works together to build their own Charter which is then signed by all students and teachers, who share equal ownership in its values. Instead of typical classroom rules that are teacher-directed, the Charter is an agreement that is based in feelings. She describes the Charter as a deliberate process that “builds positive emotional climates by creating agreed-upon norms for how we want to feel and how we can help each other experience these feelings. Second grade teacher Shoshana Ross is the 2018-19 Leadership Fellow on RULER, along with a task force of teachers from Early Childhood through Upper Elementary helping teachers across divisions implement the approach and build upon their practices. Teachers integrate RULER into the academic curriculum in creative ways so students continue to practice the concepts throughout the school day.Īt the beginning of the school year, each class creates a unique Classroom Charter as an expression of values and norms unique to the class, intended to make all feel safe, welcome, and heard. Feelings that may have been previously suppressed or confused can be expressed and acknowledged, promoting stronger communication between children, teachers, and parents. RULER students learn a diverse range of feeling words, which allow them to articulate feelings and access emotions in a new way. Why? Studies show that students in RULER programs are less anxious and depressed, manage their emotions more effectively, are better problem solvers, have greater social and leadership skills, experience fewer attention, learning, and conduct problems, and perform better academically. What is RULER? RULER stands for five areas of emotional intelligence: Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing and Regulating emotions After several years of pilot programs at The Center, the RULER approach to social-emotional learning-developed at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence-is now being integrated at CEE across the school, for students of all ages.
