We all care about our student’s emotional lives and we do things in the background to help them out–create a welcoming atmosphere, develop positive relationships with them, and help them develop positive relationships with each other. Marc Brackett’s book, Permission to Feel, contains an excellent tool for explicitly nourishing students’ emotional lives. The RULER acronym gives you a way to teach and talk about emotional regulation with your students.
Over the last few months I’ve created a series of blog posts on the RULER acronym found in Brackett’s book. Here’s a round up of the posts:
Help Students Recognize Emotions
Classroom Activities to Help Students Recognize Emotions
Help Students Understand Their Emotions
Classroom Activities to Practice Understanding Emotions
Help Students Regulate Their Emotions
Activities to Practice & Scaffold Emotional Regulation
Each of the activities in the above post can be found in my RULER bundle, which includes print and digital versions of every activity. Hope you find this useful!
